What were best movies of the 90's?

Test your knowledge: which was the biggest hit at the box office from every year in the decade?

The Cinema of the 90's was characterized by a big diversity of styles and also by the increase of the special effects and computer graphics' usage. Cable-TV began to bring new entertainment options without leaving the house and cinema felt threatened, leading to a focus on glorious epic productions, with great effects and uplifting endings. The remakes also became prevalent, as well as the sequential films such as Scream (1996).
In this scenario, independent producers and foreign productions started to gain prominence, as well as Oscar awards.
Quentin Tarantino was one of the independents who were successful, with, for example, Reservoir Dogs (1992). Ang Lee was one of the representatives of the foreign film rise, with productions like The Wedding Banquet (1993) and Sense and Sensibility (1995). Also some of the famous independent studios appeared in the 90's, such as Miramax, Lions Gate, and New Line (that later merged with Warner Bros).
In the 90's, Steven Spielberg established himself as a major blockbuster producer, Julia Roberts became the muse of Hollywood, Quentin Tarantino proved to be one of the great geniuses of cinema and Sharon Stone left a lot of men drooling in the famous moment when she crosses her legs, in Basic Instinct (1992).
Children were kept busy as well, with what was called the Disney Renaissance leading to successes such as Beauty and the Beast (1991), Aladdin (1992), The Lion King (1994), Pocahontas (1995), The Hunchback of Notre Dame (1996)
Some say these were the golden years of cinema. It was the decade of blockbusters that some people will never forget, with some of the quotes being still very present today: "Hasta la vista, baby!"; "Run, Forrest, run!"; "I see dead people."; and "Show me money!", are certainly some you hear and say quite often.

Q: Java - How to make a Jtextfield fill the whole frame I'm trying to make a JTextArea fill the whole frame so it looks somewhat like notepad or textedit. Also would it be possible to have a scroll pane.
Thanks in advance!
Edit : JTextArea

A: Try this---
import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;

public class TextFieldTest {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame();
        f.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
        JTextField tf = new JTextField();
        f.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.EAST, tf);
        f.pack();
        f.setVisible(true);
    }
}

A: What you want to to do is set the lines and character widths. You can use this constructor
JTextArea jta = new JTextArea(numberOfRows, numberOdCharacter);

                                   ^^               ^^
                                  Heigth          Width

jta.setLineWrap(true);  // wraps the words
jta.setWrapStyleWord(true);  // wraps by word instead of character

And yes you can use a JScrollPane
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jta);
panel.add(jsp);

Then pack the frame, so it "fills" the frame
frame.pack()

See this example
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public class NoteBookEditor extends JFrame {

    JTextArea jta = new JTextArea(40, 100);
    JMenuBar menuBar;
    JMenu menu;
    public NoteBookEditor(){

        menuBar = new JMenuBar();
        menu = new JMenu("hey");
        menuBar.add(menu);
        setJMenuBar(menuBar);

        add(new JScrollPane(jta));
        jta.setLineWrap(true);
        jta.setWrapStyleWord(true);
    }

    public static void createAndShowGui(){
        JFrame frame = new NoteBookEditor();
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);

    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
            public void run(){
                createAndShowGui();
            }
        });
    }
}

A: I would use
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/GridBagLayout.html
http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/awt/GridBagConstraints.html#fill
and specify
GridBagConstraints.BOTH

But judging from the other answers, there
seem to be simpler ways of doing this.

By far the largest portion of the results are taken up by Health Informatics, which are not always elaborated upon or refined further in the abstracts. These range from designing virtual services for Older People (Mcloughlin, Ian, et al. (2008)), to the use of artificial intelligence to improve health communication (Neuhauser, L., et al. (2013)), as examples.
Second is the application of the Telehealth/care/med code. Telehealth, Telecare and Telemedicine have different focuses in their application. Telehealth and Telemedicine are counted as the same thing in the United Kingdom (RCN, 2015)*, and are concerned with the remote monitoring of physiological data for use by health professionals. Telecare technologies involve the use of alarms, sensors and other equipment to monitor domestic environments and provide local feedback of a person's condition, with the ability to reach others with pertinent information about the person's health condition. The application of this code under Digital Artefacts denotes research that had as it's primary focus the development of the intangible aspects of these systems. A sister code under the Physical Products outputs denotes articles chiefly concerned with the tangible aspects of these technologies.
As with the code for Telehealth/care/med, the Games code has a sister code under Physical Products, with the same criteria defining it's application.
The abstracts that are coded as Not Specified include Macdonald A, Loudon D, (2011) & Storni, C (2013), with both of these abstracts having a focus more on the project methodology, setting and population than the specifics of the output.
There is a strong drive in health and social care to leverage the power offered by the digital revolution, and whilst health informatics is a long standing companion to heath care provision, the use of design, and specifically user-centred design, offers the possibility of how informatics interacts with the multiple stakeholders in healthcare to deliver services that support clinical practice rather than dictate it. Telehealth is often seen as a panacea for delivering cost effective healthcare, but an argument might be that this ideal will only be released if it is well designed, with the necessary attention to the lived experience of those who might use it.

Oakland Digital (oaklanddigital.org), a nonprofit organization that provides student designers with professional opportunities, has launched BRIDGEGOOD (bridgegood.com).
Supported by Google.org, Golden State Warriors Community Foundation, and Walter & Elise Haas Fund, BRIDGEGOOD is a web application that offers free online portfolios, paid projects from real-world clients, and access to exclusive tech & business meetups.
The goal of BRIDGEGOOD: meaningful, entry-level jobs in graphic design, multimedia, and UX/UI for under resourced, overlooked talent.
"BRIDGEGOOD scales our local work to a larger audience – helping students that are beginning careers," says Operations Manager and Designer, Yudy Herrera.
This summer, Oakland Digital partnered with product designers from Facebook to create a comprehensive eleven-week UX apprenticeship. The experience includes participation and leadership from Twitter, LinkedIn, and Google.
Throughout the San Francisco Bay Area, 7,500 community college students lack access and exposure to careers in technology, according to a study Oakland Digital conducted on behalf of BRIDGEGOOD. By 2020, BRIDGEGOOD aims to serve 25,000 early stage Creatives (e.g., graphic designers) in the nation, specifically focusing on students of color, as well as 2nd/3rd career artists.
"We believe creativity can change the world. With a growing ecosystem of over 4,000 artistic minds, BRIDGEGOOD is providing economic opportunity for our next generation of creators," says Project Lead, Shaun Tai.

The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is currently one of the most complete and best performing smartphones in the Android sphere. Interested? It drops today to 689 euros instead of 999 euros on Amazon.
Marketed at 999 euros when it was released on October 26, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is now displayed at 689 euros on Amazon, a saving of more than 300 euros on its original price.
Despite its square photo module, the Huawei Mate 20 Pro opts for a fairly agreed design (well-rounded forms, borderless screen with a notch, etc.), but it is clearly a good bill and especially very pleasant in hand. Its wide OLED slab of 6.39 inches is besides a real feast for the eyes: the colors are vibrant and very contrasted, all with an excellent brightness.
With the integration of a SoC Kirin 980 supported by 6 GB of RAM, the Mate 20 Pro now has one of the most powerful configurations of the world of Android. Obviously, the user experience is perfectly fluent in Android 9.0 Pie with the manufacturer's interface EMUI 9, but it is especially the promise to run all the most greedy games from the Play Store in the best possible conditions.
It is also one of the best cameras on the market thanks to its triple sensor 40 + 20 + 8 megapixels. It brings about the same quality and the same level of detail as the P20 Pro, but it benefits from very interesting (and fun) features to use, like the "Super Macro" mode for photos or the "Sin City" effect for videos. In addition, it has a range beyond standard with its battery of 4,200 mAh. It is compatible with Super Charge 2.0 40W fast charging, Qi 15W wireless charging and can even charge another smartphone.
To know everything about the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, do not hesitate to consult our test.
The Huawei Mate 20 Pro is available today only 689 euros on Amazon, against 999 euros on its release.
It is also available in purple version for 10 euros extra.

Dare to touch The Snake!
It is never recommended to touch a real snake, but the PH designed Snake Chair is not your average beast…Poul Henningsen's Snake Chair is a glorious representation of powerful design. While the Snake Chair won't harm you, it's sure to have an impact on your heart: keeping one's hands away from it's sensuous fluid lines realised in the smoothest of chromed steel, refined timber and the softest of leather can be difficult. Devoid of harsh angles, the Snake Chair sits in harmony with the widest variety of habitats.
Poul Henningsen was a master of functional design: thinking alike his Bauhaus contemporaries, PH saw no need to over-complicate his design for the Snake Chair that he first revealed to the world in 1932. The design of the Snake Chair accomplishes something so few chairs do: it is slimline and compact and yet sturdy and strong, thanks to the spiral shape of the frame that resembles that of a coiled snake. This chair pays homage to the concepts of 'function' and 'form' in synergy, to create something structurally minimal but not at the expense of the realisation of the purpose of the object itself. Versatility is part of the charm of the Snake Chair: it will sit unobtrusively in the corner of a room or take centre stage in your interior setting as your situation requires.
Through the conservative use of materials, Poul Henningsen's Snake Chair is a triumph of minimalist 1930s design. Graceful, functional, convivial and now manufactured in Europe to 21st Century engineering standards, the Snake Chair is set to be rediscovered as a contemporary design classic to covet. Poul Henningsen was himself frequently photographed sitting on the Snake Chair, often at the piano he also designed. The Snake Chair is a visionary and ground-breaking design which PH considered would revolutionise the very concept of how a chair should be constructed. This chair is truly egalitarian in design: it is such that it will find a place in virtually all home environments and though it is a 'design' piece, it is also designed to be affordable.
With versatility a part of it's design-DNA, the Snake Chair is available in vibrant red, eye-catching yellow, calming green or understated black, so there is a Snake Chair to suit the personality of every room. A companion to the Snake Chair, there is also available a Snake Stool. Tradition suggests that a stool is expected to have three or four legs, yet with this masterful design, PH has created a stool that is made of one simple, unbroken spiral. There is no other stool like it on the market today.
We think that no interior 'nest' should be without a Snake Chair. In Copenhagen, you can find the Snake Chair and Snake Stool at Illums Bolighus at Amagertorv or at our showroom on Bredgade: come and see it for yourself. Should you dare to handle Poul Henningsen's Snake designs, we are certain that you will want to take them home with you!

Everyone knows that Europe is the global hub for bike riding. Many countries even prefer it over other means of transport, and one of them countries is Amsterdam: Known for its easily accessible bikes and popular tours and routes.
However, if you don't want to take the well-known tour guides or want to go outside of the tourist hotspots it's important to know how to cycle like a local, and be able to find out all the hidden places.
The latest infographic from Cheap Flights looks at exactly just that and some top tips on how to use your bike around the city – including the perfect cycling etiquette and how to secure your bike properly.
Safety is a big concern for biking around the city so it's important to be all clued up on what you need to do to get around. Most Dutch bikes will use a single gear and back pedal brakes so anyone used to handlebar brakes might want to go out on a test run beforehand!
Have a look at the infographic below for some great hints, tips and suggestions on where to take your bike when you visit Amsterdam.


Abstract: Background: Rabies has been reported in all provinces and cities of Iran, although there has been no molecular study regarding different groups and subgroups of rabies virus by phosphoprotein gene. In this study, firstly, 48 and then 85 recent rabies isolates recovered from cases reported throughout Iran identified the evolutionary origins by molecular method of phosphoprotein gene region. Materials and methods: All the suspected samples from all over the country have been tested by IF method, then all the positive cases have undergone grouping and sub-grouping by molecular tests of phosphoprotein gene. Results: Three groups (I, II, III) and subgroups have been shown in different parts of country by phylogenetic analysis. Khorassan province has the highest rate of diversity of groups and subgroups (all the 3 groups have been identified in this province), which might be the origin of infection in neighboring provinces and all over the country respectively. Conclusion: In this study, the results of different samples obtained from cities and provinces (which could be the complement of Canadian results) confirmed the emergence of 3 different groups of rabies virus. In addition, the widely dispersion of mentioned groups and sub-groups in all provinces could be shown.
Keywords: Rabies virus, Iran, Phosphoprotein gene.

Бристоль Болінброк () — канадський двомоторний патрульний і навчальний літак, що перебував на озброєнні ВПС Канади за часів Другої світової війни. Літак був ліцензійною копією британського бомбардувальника Bristol Blenheim розробленого компанією Bristol. В Канаді виготовлявся компанією Fairchild Aircraft Ltd..

Історія виготовлення
В 1935 році авіаційне командування видало специфікацію G.24/35 на виготовлення літака розвідника/легкого бомбардувальника для заміни Avro Arson. Компанія Bristol запропонувала використати свій проект «тип 149» - розвиток літака Bristol Blenheim з двигунами Bristol Aquila, що мало забезпечити більшу дальність польоту. Але побудову окремого літака не було продовжено, натомість для розвідки мав використовуватись «Блейхейм» Mk.I з зміненою кабіною, які отримали свій номер Mk.III.

ВПС Канади теж мали протребу в патрульному літаку, і отримали від Bristol документацію на літак. Виробництво літака, який мав номер «Блейхейм» Mk.IV і своє ім'я «Болінброк» () почала компанія Fairchild Aircraft Ltd.. Перші літаки були зібрані з британських запчастин («Болінброк» Mk.I), але дуже швидко було спроектовано аналог з канадських/американських запчастин («Болінброк» Mk.IV).

Модифікації

 Mk.I - патрульний двомоторний літак, оснащений двигунами Bristol Mercury VIII з Британських запчастин. (18 екз.)
 Mk.II - п'ятий Mk.I виготовлений з американськими запчастинами. Прототип Mk.IV
 Mk.III - 16-й Mk.I перероблений в гідроплан.
 Mk.IV - серійна модифікація оснащена канадським і американським обладнанням. Оснащена двигунами Bristol Mercury XV (134 екз.)
 Mk.IV W - варіант Mk.IV з двигунами Pratt & Whitney R-1535 Twin Wasp Junior потужністю 825 к.с. (15 екз.)
 Mk.IV C - варіант Mk.IV з двигунами Wright R-1820 Cyclone потужністю 900 к.с. (1 прототип)
 Mk.IV T - навчальний варіант Mk.IV з двигунами Bristol Mercury XV (350 екз.) або Bristol Mercury XX (107 екз.) потужністю 825 к.с. (15 екз.)

Written by Jonathan Biggins
Directed by Cate Clelland
Canberra REP at Theatre 3 to 2 December
Reviewed by Len Power 17 November 2017
'He's a xenophobic fascist but, apart from that, he's OK', explains one of the characters in 'Australia Day'. Jonathan Biggins' ability to home in on the cringe-worthy aspects of Aussie characters and society is strongly displayed in his very funny first play, 'Australia Day'.
First performed in 2012, Biggins based his play on his experiences as an Australia Day Ambassador in country Australia, and particularly on his encounters with organising committees.
Set in the fictitious country town of Coriole on the northern coast of New South Wales, we observe the local organising committee making plans in the Scout Hall for their next Australia Day. Then, on Australia Day, the committee members have to deal with the things they didn't plan for - a thunderstorm, food poisoning and broken toilets – as well as a host of other problems.
Cate Clelland has gathered a set of actors who have the right look for the colourful characters they portray and they handle the comic aspects of the script very well, too.
Pat Gallagher plays the mayor of Coriole who is working towards a seat in federal politics. He gives a convincing performance as this political animal who just manages to stay one step ahead of disaster. As Robert, the less politically astute committee member who just wants to do the right thing, Thomas McCoy plays his frustrated character very well.
Sarah Hull does a fine job as Helen, the local Greens member who is annoyingly idealistic until she shows her true colours and Neil McLeod gives a very amusing performance as the elderly, intolerant Wally, who is struggling with political correctness.
Jonathan Lee is very funny as Chester, an Australian-born Vietnamese school teacher who is more ocker than anyone else and Micki Beckett is infuriating but adorable as the Country Women's Association member who can't see why anything has to change.
Cate Clelland's nicely designed production moves at a good pace, capturing the funny aspects of the play very well. A couple of serious moments in the play seemed a bit contrived and less effective, but it's the comedy we're looking for here and the show certainly delivers on that.
For anyone who's ever served on committees, 'Australia Day' will remind you why you never want to do that again. Go along and see yourself in these all too real characters.

Neil Patrick Harris cheered New York's move to make gay marriage legal, revealing that he and partner David Burtka have been engaged and would love to have a wedding.
"David and I did propose to each other, but over five years ago!" the "How I Met Your Mother" star tweeted Saturday. "We've been wearing engagement rings for ages, waiting for an available date."
Harris was vocal on Twitter before and after the landmark vote Friday, posting, "I'd sure love to get married. Please, NY Senate, vote in favor of marriage equality today. My family would really appreciate it," followed by an ecstatic, "It PASSED! Marriage equality in NY!! Yes!! Progress!! Thank you everyone who worked so hard on this!! A historic night!"
The actor, who recently hosted the Tony Awards, already has two children with fiance Burtka; fraternal twins Harper and Gideon were born in October.
Joking with People in December, he said the callus from his ring was hurting on his right hand, then gestured to his left hand and added, "It'd be nice to move the ring over here someday."

Northeast Ohio doctor charged with rape of 12-year-old
Dylan Sams @dylan_sams
ASHLAND — A doctor from the Youngstown area has been arrested and accused of raping a 12-year-old in Ashland.
Dr. Albert Aiad-Toss, 51, of Canfield, was arrested in south Florida last Friday by federal law enforcement while he was returning to the United States after a trip to Peru, Ashland County Prosecutor Christopher Tunnell said in a news release Thursday.
The county grand jury indicted Aiad-Toss on Thursday with one count of rape, a first-degree felony. According to the indictment, the alleged rape was "on or about" May 25, 2019 through June 8, 2019. Tunnell said if convicted, Aiad-Toss could face a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Tunnell said Aiad-Toss is in the process of being extradited to Ashland County.
Aiad-Toss allegedly traveled from Canfield to Ashland "to have sex with a 12-year-old child he met via a network of young teens he corresponded with on the internet," Tunnell said in a news release.
Aiad-Toss is a U.S. citizen and 1990 graduate of the Ain Shams University Faculty of Medicine in Egypt, according to the news release, and has worked as an internist and emergency room physician.
He added that the case is still under investigation.
"The overall investigation is complex and still underway and other potential charges will be reviewed," Tunnell said.
Tunnell added there was "significant evidence that shows the arrangements being made, and we have witnesses who will testify about what happened."
Tunnell said he was also asking Ashland County Common Pleas Court for attorney Mark Weaver to assist his office in the case as a special prosecutor. Weaver previously worked as a special prosecutor in the successful prosecution of Shawn Grate, who was convicted of aggravated murder and sentenced to death. Weaver previously worked at the U.S. Justice Department and has served as deputy attorney general of Ohio.
"It's always heartbreaking to see a child being sexually abused, but it's particularly heinous when it's at the hands of a doctor who took an oath to protect the vulnerable," Tunnell said. "The facts of this case are especially heinous and disturbing, and I'll commit all the resources necessary to ensure that justice is done."
Tunnell said anyone with information about Aiad-Toss that could help the investigation should contact the Ashland County Prosecutor's Office at (419) 289-8857.

The Ones: J Hus' "Must Be"
J Hus, photo by CROWNS & OWLS
by Alphonse Pierre
With artists releasing songs at a fast and furious pace it's difficult for the average hip-hop head to keep track of it all—no matter how tapped in they are. That's why we created The Ones, a daily post to highlight the song you need to hear curated by the Levels team. We sort through all the new songs—across all the platforms and subgenres—so you don't have to. Thank us later.
J Hus - "Must Be"
Last year, J Hus was sentenced to eight months in jail for carrying a knife in public. Since the UK rapper's 2015 breakout, the London police have attempted to silence his music. That year, they shut down a house party for a disturbance after a neighborhood watch group posted a video of the function shouting his chorus. Later that year the tabloids were irate after he was stabbed and posted a hospital bed selfie in which he appeared to flash gang signs. Soon enough, he was banned from performing at promoted shows in London, out of fear that there would be a disturbance. In 2019, J Hus is arguably the UK's premier rapper. His style, perfected with producer JAE5, blends afropop, dancehall, and grime, and has become one of the definitive sounds of the UK. "Must Be" follows down that path, a club-ready groove that doesn't shy away from speaking on his uphill battle: "Man, you're guilty, so you're guilty by association," he says, speaking to a culture in London that continues to vilify rappers based not on their deeds. J Hus is back, now let him rap.
Check out previous Ones, and listen to new rap from J Hus and more on our Spotify playlist, Apple Music playlist, and SoundCloud playlist.

Centennial College of Applied Arts and Technology is a diploma- and degree-granting college in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. It is the oldest publicly funded college in Ontario. Its campuses are situated on the east side of the city, particularly in Scarborough, with an aerospace centre at Downsview Park in North York.

Centennial College has been recognized as a culturally diverse post-secondary institution, almost 100 ethno-cultural groups are represented and 80 languages are spoken on campus. In 2016, it was ranked as one of Canada's Top 10 Research Colleges. Its main research facilities are its Wearable, Interactive and Mobile Technologies Access Centre in Healthcare (WIMTACH]), established in 2015 through a $1.75 million federal grant and its aerospace innovation hub, under construction at the former de Havilland plant in west-end Toronto.

Programs
Centennial offers more than 260 programs, including bachelor's degrees, diplomas, certificates, post-graduate certificates and apprenticeship programs, across many fields of study.

Founded in 1966, the college offers programs in business, communication arts, community and consumer services, applied computing, engineering technology, health sciences, animation, music, theatre, film and design. Centennial College supports enrolments of 22,000 full-time students and 19,000 part-time students.

History

Centennial College was the first community college to be opened in Ontario during the formation of the province's public college system in the 1960s.  Ontario Colleges of Applied Arts and Technology was established on May 21, 1965, under the direction of the Hon. William Davis, Minister of Education. The system has grown to encompass 24 public colleges serving 200 communities in the province.

As Centennial College's first site, Warden Woods Campus opened on October 17, 1966, with 514 students enrolled in 16 career-oriented programs, including journalism, secretarial science, and early childhood education. The campus used a decommissioned federal building that had been renovated to serve as a teaching institution. It evolved over the years to include the health/nutrition, hospitality, child studies, and community services programs. In 1973, the Ontario government transferred responsibility for nursing education from the province's hospitals to its colleges. Locally, the Scarborough Regional and the Toronto East General schools of nursing joined Centennial College to form the School of Health Sciences, based at Warden Woods Campus.

In 1992 the Scarborough Board of Education and the college established an adult education centre, the Scarborough Career Planning Centre, at the Centennial College. In 1994 the entities agreed to establish the centre there beginning in the fall of that year.

Centennial College grew rapidly, necessitating the establishment of additional campuses in the east end of Toronto to accommodate new programs and students. Warden Woods Campus closed in autumn of 2004 and was demolished to make way for a housing development. Most programs were relocated to the Centennial Science and Technology Centre (now Morningside Campus), which began operations the same year.

Campuses

Existing campuses are located at:

Morningside Campus
Located in Scarborough, Morningside Campus (previously Centennial College HP Science and Technology Centre) opened in the summer of 2004 to house joint programs with the nearby University of Toronto Scarborough.  The campus operates health science and environmental science programs, architectural technology, biotechnology, personal support worker, paramedics, pharmacy technology, environmental technology, massage therapy and others.

Progress Campus
Progress Campus in Scarborough is Centennial's largest campus. The programs offered there (located at 941 Progress Avenue, near Markham Road and Highway 401), are in computer science and technology, business, and hospitality and culinary arts. Students in the latter often work as hospitality staff/chefs in the student restaurant, The Local, or in the Student Centre kitchen run by the CCSAI. Progress Campus is the site of a Library and Academic Facility and an expanded Athletic and Wellness Centre, both of which opened in September 2011.

It's also home to the Centennial Event Centre, a multi-use venue for special events, corporate meetings and social functions. It is located on the top floor of the new Centennial student residence, which opened in August 2016, and replaced an older facility. The "A Block" (located on 939 Progress Avenue) of the campus was built in 1994 by the Scarborough Board of Education to house the students from Scarborough Centre for Alternative Studies adult secondary school.

Ashtonbee Campus
Located at 75 Ashtonbee Road in Scarborough, this campus houses the automotive services technician, career and college transition, motive power technician, auto body repair technician, general arts and science, and other programs. Ashtonbee Campus is regarded as one of the largest transportation technology training centers in North America.

In 2017, Ashtonbee Campus' library renovation project was one of 10 winners in the 2017 Ontario Association of Architects Awards Design Excellence division.

Story Arts Centre
Located near the Danforth at 951 Carlaw Avenue in East York, this campus opened in 1996 to house Centennial's award-winning School of Communications, Media, Arts and Design, a "premiere media and visual arts learning centre" in the region according to the East York Foundation. Taught here are most of the creative communication programs such as advertising and public relations, as well as professionally oriented programs in the arts, such as digital animation and game design.  The School of Communications, Media, Arts and Design also offers performance programs, including Theatre Arts and Performance, Music Industry Arts and Performance, Dance Performance and Performing Arts Fundamentals. The performance programs are housed in leased space at the Daniels Spectrum in downtown Toronto.

The building housing the Story Arts Centre was built to house the Toronto Teachers' College in 1955 and television buffs may know it as the location of the Canadian TV teen drama Degrassi High in the early 1990s. Since the closure of Toronto's francophone Collège des Grands-Lacs in 2002, Collège Boréal, a francophone college based primarily in Sudbury, also offered some French-language college programs at this facility until moving to its own new campus at One Yonge Street in 2012.

Downsview Aerospace Hub
In November 2016, work on the $72 million Downsview Park Aerospace Campus officially got underway with a groundbreaking ceremony attended by Ontario Premier Kathleen Wynne and federal Hon. Minister of Science Kirsty Duncan. With joint funding from the provincial and the federal government, the aerospace campus is being built on the site of the former de Havilland Aircraft Company Ltd. assembly plant in Downsview Park, Toronto. Centennial College is a partner in the Downsview aerospace consortium, DAIR, along with the University of Toronto, York University, Toronto Metropolitan University (formerly Ryerson University), and eight companies including Pratt and Whitney Canada, FlightSafety, Canadensys, UTC Aerospace, MDA, Safran Landing Systems, Honeywell and Bombardier Aerospace.

In May 2017, Centennial College received $2.3 million in funding from the Natural Sciences and Engineering Research Council of Canada (NSERC) to research electric landing gear for energy-efficient aircraft.

Suzhou Centennial College
In 2016, Suzhou Centennial College (SCC) officially launched. It is the first Canadian college approved by the Chinese government to deliver Canadian education in China. Suzhou Centennial College offers 18 programs, including four Centennial programs providing Canadian credentials in accounting, finance, software engineering and business foundations.

Warden Woods

Former campus(es) include:

Warden Woods Campus located at 651 Warden Avenue was formerly Canadian Arsenals Limited plant acquired in 1964. It closed in 2004 with site mostly demolished in 2005 and now a residential development. The historic Bell Estate c. 1830 has been preserved.

Residence, School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts, and Event Centre
Responding to a critical shortage of affordable rental accommodations in Toronto at the time, Centennial College purchased the Howard Johnson Plaza Hotel Toronto East in June 2001 across the street from the Progress Campus and converted the hotel building into a college residence in time for the fall semester. The amenities and level of finish in the hotel building were considerably higher than that of many purpose-built college residences. Amenities included an indoor pool, glass elevator, four-storey atrium and warmly decorated rooms. The Centennial College Residence and Conference Centre was originally configured to accommodate 380 student residents, based on two students sharing a room, though later configurations allowed the creation of some single-occupancy rooms.

Rapid enrolment growth, fuelled by international students, compelled the college to examine building a new residence on the Progress Campus property. The resulting eight-storey quadrangle building was designed to house 740 students in two- and four-bed suites, complete with a bathroom and kitchen in every suite, with all residents having their own private bedroom. The new building is a hybrid: the ground floor is dedicated to Centennial's School of Hospitality, Tourism and Culinary Arts, complete with seven kitchen labs, eight classrooms and a restaurant and cafe (The Local) open to the public. The conference and events centre located on the top floor can accommodate up to 450 guests. Construction broke ground in October 2014 and the residence began occupancy in August 2016. Knightstone Capital Management provided the planning, financing and management of the project; other key partners include Diamond Schmitt Architects, Canadian Campus Communities and FRAM Building Group.

Academics
Centennial College offers full-time programs in more than 100 fields of study. These programs emphasize experiential learning with laboratory instruction, paid co-operative education opportunities, and industry and agency field placements. All Centennial programs are developed and kept current with the assistance of program advisory committees (PACs), made up of academic advisors and employer representatives. Their participation ensures the education and skills students receive at Centennial are up-to-date and relevant to the industry they are preparing to enter.

Centennial offers a variety of innovative degree programs. Five joint-degree programs in paramedicine, journalism, new media studies, environmental science & technology and applied microbiology are taught in conjunction with the University of Toronto Scarborough, and the Bachelor of Science Nursing program is delivered jointly with Ryerson University. Centennial was among the first colleges in Ontario to receive approval for applied-degree programs in computer and communication networking, and software systems: design, development and management.

The Montana Independent Record is reporting that state-subsidized health insurance for Montana smallest businesses is underway. The state's largest health insurer, Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Montana signed a contract Thursday to provide new policies for uninsured businesses and their workers.
State Auditor John Morrison is estimating that the program can help finance employee health insurance for as many as 350 businesses this year, each with two to five workers.
– Direct state subsidies for small business owners and their employees, to help pay the cost of health insurance for those who previously had no insurance.
– A state income-tax credit for small businesses that already provide health insurance for their workers. It's offered on a first-come, first-served basis, and Morrison estimates the money will finance 435 businesses this year.
Those interested in the program can visit the auditor's Web site at www.sao.mt.gov or call toll-free at 1-800-332-6148 or, in Helena, 444-2040.


Most police interviews are carried out during a person's detention at the police station after being arrested on suspicion of committing a crime.
There has been a huge rise in recent years in the number of 'voluntary interviews' (sometimes called a 'voluntary interview under caution').
This is usually a knock at the door or a telephone call from a police officer who asks you to come into the police station to "have a chat". It is common practice for the police to make it seem like there is nothing to worry about. In reality, the police will want to conduct a formal recorded interview in exactly the same way as if you were detained in custody. What you do (or don't) say during the interview could severely damage your position should the matter proceed to court. Make sure you have a solicitor with you at the police station to advise, assist you and to protect and advance your legal rights.
Many people find this initial contact distressing – especially if they have never been in trouble with the police before.
Does it mean the matter is not serious?
Absolutely not. Just because a matter is dealt with by way of a voluntary interview does not mean that the police are taking the matter lightly. The police now routinely interview suspects voluntarily for serious allegations such as robbery, drugs matters and serious sexual offences.
Does it mean that I will not go to court?
No. It is likely that at the end of the voluntary interview, you will be 'reported for the consideration of prosecution'. This means a lawyer from the Crown Prosecution Service will determine whether or not there is enough evidence to bring the matter to court. Your answers during your voluntary interview will form part of that evidence.
Legal advice and representation is free of charge for everyone who attends a police station for a voluntary interview. Contacting a solicitor to attend the interview with you does not make you look guilty. Indeed, it is likely to reduce the chance of you being charged.
Despite how friendly the police have been with you, they are not on your side and you should never speak to the police about any allegation until you have taken legal advice from one of our expert criminal defence solicitors.
Complete the form below to request Bhatia Best Solicitors to represent you at your voluntary interview. Legal representation is free of charge for everyone being interviewed by the police. Please provide us with an accurate telephone number and we will call you back to confirm we will attend to represent you.


Ok, that is a really bad picture -- so bad I can't believe I'm even posting it. Please note that the 2000 cans of paint samples are applying pressure to a board I asked to have ripped out and replaced because I thought it was too dark. And because I am a nightmare. Also note that there are 2000 cans of paint samples. I really have a problem.


Happy Monday folks, and here we are yet again with another 'Christmas' song. Now, the quotes should be a hint that we're veering well away from the traditional standards today. Today, we're highlighting a little band called Da Yoopers, and their timeless song… Rusty Chevrolet. Enjoy!

The 'Rise and Fall' of Smriti Irani!
By Saket Sharma
In 2014, Prime Minister surprised many political pundits when he handed Human Resource Ministry to Smriti Irani. A move which many thought is more of an award for Smriti Irani, for all the work she did as a BJP spokesperson earlier. The way she handled herself against political giant Rahul Gandhi in his home constituency Amethi in Lok sabha elections or all the flack she received from other parties for supporting NaMo in elections. She was termed as 'the wall of defense for BJP' by then Goa Chief Minister Manohar Parrikar.
Still, her rise to the top too soon is not predicted by many, even party insiders were little shocked by the decision made by Narendra Modi. The choice, which raised eyebrows because of Irani "degree deficit" was seen as the launchpad for a big political career. The government launch defense of the feisty Irani whenever she was under attack from political opponents only reinforced the estimate that she could be headed for an even bigger role.
Irani started her BJP career as a vice president of BJP Maharashtra Youth Wing in 2004, and in just mere 10 years in her political career, she became National Secretary of BJP, All India Women Wing President, Member of Rajya Sabha and most importantly All India Vice President of BJP in 2013 before she sworn an oath as an HRD minister in 2014, which is commendable for a women who generally associates with the term 'outsider' in the party.
However, things didn't turn out as smooth as her 'Astrologist' had predicted earlier for her. In 2 years, HRD Ministry led by Smriti Irani arguably turned out to be the most controversial department for Modi government. Her feisty role in contentious issues like Jawaharlal Nehru University scandal or her approach to calm down Ramayana-Quran book issues was considered good by many but Mrs. Irani does have a fair share of critics, both inside and outside of the party. Officials would often prefer to dodge her, with a few choosing to leave the ministry altogether.
In the last few months, the HRD ministry and Niti Aayog were locked in a bitter battle about issues like accreditation and other issues. Irani saw it as interference and made it clear to senior Aayog officials. For some reason, maybe to win the Sangh's support, Irani had turned dead against the private sector. So much so that when she agreed to make deemed university regulations less stringent, the buzz was that it could be because of pressure from a powerful education lobby close to BJP. The IIM bill remains in limbo because of a long-standing fracas with the Prime Minister's Office (PMO). The HRD ministry's stake was that the government needed to have some say in running of IIMs, just the way it is the case with IITs but the PMO had other ideas.
In the last few months, Irani was consciously trying to turn a new leaf by being amiable, but her temperamental nature had already done enough damage. Irani's problem was, and still is, that she has just one response for every situation: Fight. A savvy politician, as Kautilya pointed out, needs to be adept in saam, daam, danda (punishment) and bheda to succeed. Irani, unfortunately, knew only how to use her Twitter handle as danda. That is what happened when she got attacked by various media houses and trolls.
Rather than taking calm approach she often uses aggressiveness to prove her point, her fight with the famous newspaper 'The Telegraph' over 'Aunty National' Issue is one of the few examples. A famous saying in politics is 'You shouldn't be a friend or a foe to media' but sadly Irani didn't listen to it and opted out to become a lone wolf fighting media questions left and right and further degrading herself and party status in the process.
Former Environment Minister Mr. Prakash Javadekar is now our new HRD minister, Mr. Javadekar is known for his clean image and his work in 'Swach Bharat Mission'. Smriti Irani is now an in charge of 'Textile Ministry' a somewhat small sector as compared to her previous HRD. Earlier Smriti Irani has said 'review me for my performance'. Now looks like NaMo is not so happy with her performance.Well, we can just wish both of them good luck!

"I love drawing animals with human expressions. I find it such fun creating, say- a thoughtful fox, a happy hippo, a shy sheep, or a caring bear! The other thing I like is creating landscapes, places where my characters can run about and have adventures. Living in a magnificent place like Snowdonia helps a great deal."

At first I lived with my parents and older sister in a modern semi-detached brick house on the edge of Luton. Although quite near the town, we were surrounded by cornfields and green hills.
We were lucky enough to have a large garden, trees to climb, herbs to eat, and a mass of hawthorn hedges into which my dad cut little corridors and rooms for my sister and I to play in.
My parents had a comprehensive library of books. I spent ages poring over the pictures, trying to copy them. It was the same with my own books. I soaked up the images and ignored the writing. It wasn't until much later that I bothered with the words at all. Luckily my parents would read to me. Radio four was always on in our house. I still love listening to plays and readings on the radio and regularly take out audio books from the library... it's great being read to while I'm working.
When I was ten my parents went a little crazy (I'm glad to say) and moved to a house with it's own morgue. An old slate-quarry hospital in Snowdonia. A great stone-block building, filled with draughts and ghosts.
I still live in Wales, in an old mill this time, with my parents and my partner Iain. We love to explore the welsh landscape with our cameras having big adventures. Check out Iain's website where you will see what we get up to!
My lucky break came in 2006. My first picture book 'If Big Can... I Can.' written by Beth Shoshan and published by Meadowside, was shortlisted for the Booktrust Early Years Awards.
I'm so lucky to be doing this now. Right from the start, poring over the illustrations in those books as a little girl... it's what I've wanted to do.

East Kentwood's Fincher drawn to MSU's 'will to win'
David Goricki
East Kentwood — Michigan State definitely has a leg up on the recruiting trail for East Kentwood junior offensive lineman Dallas Fincher.
Fincher, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound three-star guard, already has 20 offers, including Ohio State, Michigan, Wisconsin and Michigan State.
So, why would the Spartans have the upper hand on Fincher? Well, his father, Mark, was an offensive lineman for Michigan State back in the mid-'80s.
Fincher is learning his craft while playing alongside Wisconsin-bound tackle Logan Brown, and Brown wants nothing more than for Fincher to follow him to Madison, Wis., to play for the Badgers.
"I always grew up a Michigan State fan since my parents met there and my dad played there," Fincher said. "Sure, they (Spartans) have an advantage because I've always watched them on TV. I like how much of a family they are. I like their will to win. They know how to win and I've just followed them for a long time.
"I went to Michigan State a couple of weeks ago, just to see one of their OTAs, like one of their pre-practice things. It was great to be with their coaches, know some of the recruits and just talk with the players."
Fincher wants to show his potential his junior season, and has set lofty goals for himself.
"I want to average two pancakes, try and be more aggressive," said Fincher, who will play right tackle this season. "I started last year but now know more of our offense, so I want to be more aggressive and more physical so we can get more wins and get in the playoffs.
"Logan has taught me a lot, mostly to not overthink things and not overset. When I played guard, it's usually just trying to get my hands on as soon as I can, but at tackle I naturally overset."

Fincher, who played at 6-3, 260 last year, put on 20 pounds during the offseason. He is benching 280, up from 220 a year ago. He went to three camps this summer, including Michigan and Michigan State.
Fincher has the luxury of getting better every day in practice by going up against 6-3, 330-pound four-star defensive tackle Mazi Smith (Michigan) and 6-6, 230-pound junior defensive end Bryce Mostella.
"Of course, I'm going to see some great defensive linemen, but in terms of like moves, their hands, length, strength and size it's like no other," Fincher said of Smith and Mostella.
Mostella, a four-star recruit, has offers from Ohio State, Michigan and Penn State, but where's Auburn?
Mostella's father, Marcellus, played linebacker at Auburn and Bryce has been a fan of the Tigers.
"My dream has always been to play college football since I was a little kid," Mostella said. "I always watched college football and seeing the passion that there is for college football, it's a feeling nothing else in this world could match it. ... Michigan, Penn State, Ohio State, Northwestern, Minnesota and Iowa have offered me, but Auburn has not. Neither has Michigan State.
"I like Coach (defensive line coach Greg) Mattison at Michigan. He's a great mind and knows exactly what he's doing, and I feel like he could really mold me into a great player."
Mostella had 10 sacks last season and his goal is to get 16 this season.
"I've gotten stronger, made my footwork quicker and then going up against Logan and Dallas I see what I have to do, like throw up my hands faster," Mostella said. "That's not easy at all to go up against them, but it maxes out my potential."
Smith feels he has things to prove in his senior year before heading to Ann Arbor.
"I want to show my character on the field, show who I am," said Smith, who benches 425 pounds, up from 340 a year ago. He can now bench 225 pounds 22 times.
"I have a lot to prove this season, always have a lot to prove. There's always pressure on me, but hopefully I'll do well under the pressure I put on myself.
"I want to be out there, have a solid season and that's very important since I'm starting my career at Michigan early (in January). I have to put in the work and there's a lot of work I need to put in before I can do what I'm supposed to do at the next level.
"I've been trying to make sure I get my wind up and that's been a problem for me my whole life, but I have to make sure I pay extra attention to it before this season and before I go to Michigan. I do extra work, like sprints outside of practice, before or after practice. Sometimes I run at home, just doing everything I can to get ready. I'm at 330, plan to get to 315 at the start of the season. I know they'll get me down even further once I get to Michigan."

A £70 million children's hospital is being built in Southampton.
"Our vision is to build a dedicated state-of-the-art children's hospital which will bring all our paediatric services under one roof for the first time."
Due for completion in 2020, it will be a centre of excellence for children on the south coast and beyond.
The children's hospital will be linked to Southampton General Hospital but will be purpose built with a separate entrance.
The new £70 million building will offer the highest quality hospital environment to young people, from babies to teenagers.
It will be situated on the east side of Southampton General Hospital with an exclusive entrance on B level and connected to the main hospital via a link corridor.
Free accommodation will be available that allows families to be close by when children are in hospital.
It will not only be a regional hospital but will provide specialist care for children across the country.
"We have seen many changes in the last 20 years and our patient numbers continue to grow year on year. These developments will strengthen our services for local children as well as improving the specialist care we provide for those further afield.
"Although based in Southampton, we will be working with healthcare professionals across the region to design models of care that enable children to be treated closer to home.
"Our staff will work alongside sub-specialist consultants in other hospitals so patients, whenever possible, are able to continue to enjoy their lives close to their friends and families."


Rugby 15 is ranked in the 1st percentile of games scored on OpenCritic.
HB Studios has tried to create an exciting rugby experience, but the game has emerged disappointingly under-developed. The wait for an excellent new rugby game continues.
Even if you're a diehard rugby fan, this is one to avoid.
Rugby 15 is barely playable and certainly nothing like rugby.
Rugby 15 is an absolute shambles of a game. . . . If you're a rugby fan and you see this in the store, kick it into touch and run the other way. Or just teleport. Like rugby players apparently can.
Rugby 15 has more bugs than Starship Troopers and is messier than school-yard mugby.
There are some options for multiplayer, plenty of teams to choose from and a limited license for those who like playing games with the real players. However, this is like saying the menus are more exciting than the game - and in this case, it's true. Rugby 15 squanders an opportunity to build on the popularity of a sport that is slowly gaining ground in the US, and won't be pulling anyone away from their annual Madden games.


Since the UK surprised the world in 2016 by voting to leave the European Union, we have all watched on as the British government has pushed forward with the process of negotiating a favorable exit deal before the deadline on the 29 March 2019.
Now here we are in 2019, less than three months away from the deadline, with plenty of uncertainty and several potential outcomes.
Everyone is asking – so what happens now?
For UK businesses, it is important to have a clear strategy for Brexit which can adapt to any of the possible outcomes and to identify the potential threats and opportunities that exist. For us here at Berkeley Assets, we are in a fortunate position that we have a diversified portfolio of assets and we are not reliant on cross-border trade with the EU. As a business that is heavily focused on UK real estate we also see Brexit as a huge opportunity.
In preparation for Brexit, we have focused on raising capital in US dollars from our overseas offices over the past 18 months which is advantageous as it allows us to invest in UK-based assets at a lower price while the British pound has suffered consistent weakness.
Post Brexit, regardless of the outcome, it is highly probable that the pound will experience significant appreciation over the medium to long term. Brexit panic has driven down UK property prices and opened the door to more favorable deals on projects across the country. This is allowing our real estate division to acquire undervalued assets and positions us well for stronger growth over the next few years.
The UK still has a housing crisis where over a million families across England are on the waiting list for housing and between 240,000 and 300,000 new homes need to be build each year until 2030 to satisfy demand. This issue is particularly pressing for the affordable housing market, and this guarantees our real estate lending team and our development team plenty of opportunity regardless of the Brexit outcome.
Our advice to investors is not get too wrapped up in the media storm over Brexit. Look at the opportunities that exist and focus on the fundamentals.
Now is a great time to invest while there is fear in the market and prices are weak. There will certainly be many challenges if Brexit proceeds, however, short-term volatility will ultimately give way to long-term growth and there is still a chance that Brexit will be cancelled altogether.
Let's just hope that the British politicians have the good sense to avoid a no-deal exit scenario.
Contact us at any time if you have any questions or are looking for advice.

This August will be the 10th anniversary of the passing of Bob Moog, who has been such an inspiration to me and the reason I first found a passion for playing theremin!
Expect lots of artwork and even * a theremin composition :) * posted here in the next few weeks!
What will others be doing for the occasion? Any ideas?
Here is an amazing interview with him!
Well if people are interested, we could do a Festschrift-like thing here. A Festschrift is a compendium of scholarly articles honoring a well respected person in some field. Now this is normally an academic thing done for a living person (there is a similar thing called a Gedenkschrift that is dedicated to someone who has died) but we can take the general concept.
People could either write a short posting on a subject that's related to Bob Moog, or perhaps tell a story about him if they knew him, or maybe tell a story about how he changed their life in some way (he did mine) or the composers out there might write an Homage piece to him. All could be placed in this or some other thread.
Those are wonderful ideas! Anyone who has access to scholarly articles (I heard Cornell has his archives) is welcome to post about them. I am in fact preparing a story about how much he has changed my own life. I'm creating some drawings as well. Here's the Moog documentary in case anyone wants to view it, it's quite inspiring :) Moog Music has uploaded it to their YouTube channel and I embedded the videos below, I think they also sell DVDs.
"Synthesizer pioneer and inventor BOB MOOG was probably the coolest nerd on the planet. Thanks to Mr.Moog, the deliverance of the synthesizer and its funny, quirky sounds, which is now heavily used in our music world, was created.
In remembrance of the late Bob Moog, Moog Music Inc has released a documentary excelling just over an hour's worth of footage of Bob and the evolution of Moog instruments for what would have been the man's 79th birthday. Not only is it extremely interesting, it's simultaneously quite educational.
His construction of the analog synth was something that took a little while to warm up to, as he contextually explains its strange initiation and acceptance due to the scepticism of electronic instruments, as they were seen as dangerous and phony in comparison to the wood, brass and string families and their traditional usage.
He shows us the building of analog synths and how they operate differently from digital instruments. This is through his detailing of the connectivity of an analog board and its electrical circuit. To put this into practice, every scene welcomes us with the composition of a Moog instrument, and features live performance and discussion from artists such as Money Mark, Edd Kalehoff, DJ Logic, Keith Emersonand Stereolab.
We also learn that New York first utilised Moog products in music houses for commercials at their first release, due to the huge price tags of the instruments. Aside from being a new, innovative product, this was primarily because of the amount of time and work that went into one single synthesizer, as they were all handmade instruments. If you want an idea of the value of an original Moog now, some dude is selling a vintage minimoog model for US $5495 on eBay..
Throughout the doco, watch him travel, brushing heads with musicians, DJs and composers as they share Moog memories and discuss the craft of music. We learn about how the synthesizer got its name, the simplicity and elegance of the theremin (the first instrument he ever made for money back in 1954) and Moog instruments' relevance to design and engineering as well as music and the importance of their evolution. One particular conversation in the doco is between Bob Moog and Rick Wakeman. After Wakeman explains his first minimoog purchase experience, he illustrates the impact Moog synths have made, as they "changed the face of music". These relationships really highlight the importance of Moog's special existence.
After a brief visit to Tokyo, the documentary wraps up with Bob Moog's philosophy of reality. He links this with the connectivity of an instrument that he's built and how that piece of machinery beholds a memory of him. This talk of connection is apparent earlier in the film where he is strolling through his vegetable garden.
It then closes with Moog completely in his element, as he plays his theremin in a leafy, green environment. This is how he'll be remembered as his legacy will live on forever in what he's given to music.
Ever since learning about Bob Moog and his legacy I knew I wanted a Moog theremin, even if that meant waiting longer and paying more. I was also touched by the fact that "Moog Music synthesizers and effects are lovingly handcrafted at the Moog factory in downtown Asheville, N.C. Each instrument and effect is built to order by real people, just for you." (Moog Music website). And then there's these sweet quotes from Bob Moog himself that he treats his theremins (and synthesizers?) as living and able to connect with people. I just love that.
No doubt that a theremin made by the legacy and heart of Bob Moog will be special and sweet indeed! So as August 21st approaches, I have finally found my theremin, or my theremin found me :) The opportunity arose for me to "adopt" a used Moog Etherwave Plus which will find an excellent and caring home with me! I have already picked out a perfect name for her which I will announce at a later time!
Which brings me to ask, how well do you think the new leadership of Moog Music is carrying on the spirit and legacy of Bob Moog?
Today I'd like to share an amazing interview with Bob Moog!
And I think I mentioned I'm making some tribute art of Bob Moog and Leon Theremin. I found some rare photos of them actually together, so it's not entirely fictional :) I wouldn't want to keep them to myself so I had to share!
Is anyone else buying "Bach to Moog", Sony's album for the 10th anniversary of Bob Moog's passing - it's like an update to "Switched on Bach"?
Bach to Moog combines real orchestra and solo players with electronics. What I heard on the Moog web site was not that impressive but I'll preview tracks on itunes and likely buy ones I like. Nothing approaches the original Switched on Bach album (and the companion Brandenburg Concertos album - which IMHO is even better). Wendy Carlos came out with another version years later and it was nothing as good - too much technology - broke my heart as Switched on Bach is what got me interested in classical music. The original was done at a time when there was little modern recording technology and I think the problems that had to be surmounted because of that actually helped create better music. Anyone who has not heard the Brandenburg Concertos album needs to. I think Buckley's Firing Line used Cto#2 as its theme song from the album.
Bob Moog has said: "To be human, to be fully human, is to need music and to derive nourishment from the music you hear."
