MODULE SUMMARY

Lexical analyzer generator for Erlang

DESCRIPTION

A regular expression based lexical analyzer generator for
      Erlang, similar to lex or flex.

Note

The Leex module should be considered experimental
      as it will be subject to changes in future releases.

DATA TYPES

ErrorInfo = {ErrorLine,module(),error_descriptor()}
ErrorLine = integer()
Token = tuple()

EXPORTS

file(FileName, [, Options]) -> LeexRet

Types:

FileName = filename()

Options = Option | [Option]

Option = - see below -

LeexRet = {ok, Scannerfile}
                   | {ok, Scannerfile, Warnings}
                   | error
                   | {error, Errors, Warnings}

Scannerfile = filename()

Warnings = Errors = [{filename(), [ErrorInfo]}]

ErrorInfo  = {ErrorLine, module(), Reason}

ErrorLine = integer()

Reason = - formatable by format_error/1 -

Generates a lexical analyzer from the definition in the input
          file. The input file has the extension .xrl. This is
          added to the filename if it is not given. The resulting module
          is the Xrl filename without the .xrl extension.

The current options are:

dfa_graph

Generates a .dot file which contains a
              description of the DFA in a format which can be viewed with
              Graphviz, www.graphviz.com.

{includefile,Includefile}

Uses a specific or customised prologue file
              instead of default
              lib/parsetools/include/leexinc.hrl which is
              otherwise included.

{report_errors, bool()}

Causes errors to be printed as they occur. Default is
              true.

{report_warnings, bool()}

Causes warnings to be printed as they occur. Default is
              true.

warnings_as_errors

Causes warnings to be treated as errors.

{report, bool()}

This is a short form for both report_errors and
              report_warnings.

{return_errors, bool()}

If this flag is set, {error, Errors, Warnings}
              is returned when there are errors. Default is false.

{return_warnings, bool()}

If this flag is set, an extra field containing
              Warnings is added to the tuple returned upon
               success. Default is false.

{return, bool()}

This is a short form for both return_errors and
              return_warnings.

{scannerfile, Scannerfile}

Scannerfile is the name of the file that
             will contain the Erlang scanner code that is generated.
             The default ("") is to add the extension
             .erl to FileName stripped of the
             .xrl extension.

{verbose, bool()}

Outputs information from parsing the input file and
              generating the internal tables.

Any of the Boolean options can be set to true by
          stating the name of the option. For example, verbose
          is equivalent to {verbose, true}.

Leex will add the extension .hrl to the
          Includefile name and the extension .erl to the
          Scannerfile name, unless the extension is already
          there.

format_error(ErrorInfo) -> Chars

Types:

Chars = [char() | Chars]

Returns a string which describes the error
          ErrorInfo returned when there is an error in a
          regular expression.

GENERATED SCANNER EXPORTS

The following functions are exported by the generated scanner.

EXPORTS

string(String) -> StringRet
string(String, StartLine) -> StringRet

Types:

String = string()

StringRet = {ok,Tokens,EndLine} | ErrorInfo

Tokens = [Token]

EndLine = StartLine = integer()

Scans String and returns all the tokens in it, or an
          error.

Note

It is an error if not all of the characters in
          String are consumed.

token(Cont, Chars) -> {more,Cont1} | {done,TokenRet,RestChars}

token(Cont, Chars, StartLine) -> {more,Cont1}
             | {done,TokenRet,RestChars}

Types:

Cont = [] | Cont1

Cont1 = tuple()

Chars = RestChars = string() | eof

TokenRet = {ok, Token, EndLine}
                    | {eof, EndLine}
                    | ErrorInfo

StartLine = EndLine = integer()

This is a re-entrant call to try and scan one token from
          Chars. If there are enough characters in Chars
          to either scan a token or detect an error then this will be
          returned with {done,...}. Otherwise
          {cont,Cont} will be returned where Cont is
          used in the next call to token() with more characters
          to try an scan the token. This is continued until a token
          has been scanned. Cont is initially [].

It is not designed to be called directly by an application
          but used through the i/o system where it can typically be
          called in an application by:

io:request(InFile, {get_until,Prompt,Module,token,[Line]})
  -> TokenRet

tokens(Cont, Chars) -> {more,Cont1} | {done,TokensRet,RestChars}

tokens(Cont, Chars, StartLine) ->
               {more,Cont1} | {done,TokensRet,RestChars}

Types:

Cont = [] | Cont1

Cont1 = tuple()

Chars = RestChars = string() | eof

TokensRet = {ok, Tokens, EndLine}
                     | {eof, EndLine}
                     | ErrorInfo

Tokens = [Token]

StartLine = EndLine = integer()

This is a re-entrant call to try and scan tokens from
          Chars. If there are enough characters in Chars
          to either scan tokens or detect an error then this will be
          returned with {done,...}. Otherwise
          {cont,Cont} will be returned where Cont is
          used in the next call to tokens() with more
          characters to try an scan the tokens. This is continued
          until all tokens have been scanned. Cont is initially
          [].

This functions differs from token in that it will
          continue to scan tokens upto and including an
          {end_token,Token} has been scanned (see next
          section). It will then return all the tokens. This is
          typically used for scanning grammars like Erlang where there
          is an explicit end token, '.'. If no end token is
          found then the whole file will be scanned and returned. If
          an error occurs then all tokens upto and including the next
          end token will be skipped.

It is not designed to be called directly by an application
          but used through the i/o system where it can typically be
          called in an application by:

io:request(InFile, {get_until,Prompt,Module,tokens,[Line]})
  -> TokensRet

Input File Format

Erlang style comments starting with a % are allowed in
      scanner files. A definition file has the following format:

<Header>

Definitions.

<Macro Definitions>

Rules.

<Token Rules>

Erlang code.

<Erlang code>

The "Definitions.", "Rules." and "Erlang code." headings are
      mandatory and must occur at the beginning of a source line. The
      <Header>, <Macro Definitions> and <Erlang code>
      sections may be empty but there must be at least one rule.

Macro definitions have the following format:

NAME = VALUE

and there must be spaces around =. Macros can be used in
      the regular expressions of rules by writing {NAME}.

Note

When macros are expanded in expressions the macro calls
      are replaced by the macro value without any form of quoting or
      enclosing in parentheses.

Rules have the following format:

<Regexp> : <Erlang code>.

The <Regexp> must occur at the start of a line and not
      include any blanks; use \t and \s to include TAB
      and SPACE characters in the regular expression. If <Regexp>
      matches then the corresponding <Erlang code> is evaluated to
      generate a token. With the Erlang code the following predefined
      variables are available:

TokenChars

A list of the characters in the matched token.

TokenLen

The number of characters in the matched token.

TokenLine

The line number where the token occurred.

The code must return:

{token,Token}

Return Token to the caller.

{end_token,Token}

Return Token and is last token in a tokens call.

skip_token

Skip this token completely.

{error,ErrString}

An error in the token, ErrString is a string
         describing the error.

It is also possible to push back characters into the input
      characters with the following returns:

{token,Token,PushBackList}

{end_token,Token,PushBackList}

{skip_token,PushBackList}

These have the same meanings as the normal returns but the
      characters in PushBackList will be prepended to the input
      characters and scanned for the next token. Note that pushing
      back a newline will mean the line numbering will no longer be
      correct.

Note

Pushing back characters gives you unexpected
      possibilities to cause the scanner to loop!

The following example would match a simple Erlang integer or
      float and return a token which could be sent to the Erlang
      parser:

D = [0-9]

{D}+ :
  {token,{integer,TokenLine,list_to_integer(TokenChars)}}.

{D}+\.{D}+((E|e)(\+|\-)?{D}+)? :
  {token,{float,TokenLine,list_to_float(TokenChars)}}.

The Erlang code in the "Erlang code." section is written into
      the output file directly after the module declaration and
      predefined exports declaration so it is possible to add extra
      exports, define imports and other attributes which are then
      visible in the whole file.

Regular Expressions

The regular expressions allowed here is a subset of the set
      found in egrep and in the AWK programming language, as
      defined in the book, The AWK Programming Language, by A. V. Aho,
      B. W. Kernighan, P. J. Weinberger. They are composed of the
      following characters:

c

Matches the non-metacharacter c.

\c

Matches the escape sequence or literal character c.

.

Matches any character.

^

Matches the beginning of a string.

$

Matches the end of a string.

[abc...]

Character class, which matches any of the characters
        abc.... Character ranges are specified by a pair of
        characters separated by a -.

[^abc...]

Negated character class, which matches any character
        except abc....

r1 | r2

Alternation. It matches either r1 or r2.

r1r2

Concatenation. It matches r1 and then r2.

r+

Matches one or more rs.

r*

Matches zero or more rs.

r?

Matches zero or one rs.

(r)

Grouping. It matches r.

The escape sequences allowed are the same as for Erlang strings:

\b

Backspace.

\f

Form feed.

\n

Newline (line feed).

\r

Carriage return.

\t

Tab.

\e

Escape.

\v

Vertical tab.

\s

Space.

\d

Delete.

\ddd

The octal value ddd.

\xhh

The hexadecimal value hh.

\x{h...}

The hexadecimal value h....

\c

Any other character literally, for example \\ for
        backslash, \" for ".

The following examples define Erlang data types:

Atoms [a-z][0-9a-zA-Z_]*

Variables [A-Z_][0-9a-zA-Z_]*

Floats (\+|-)?[0-9]+\.[0-9]+((E|e)(\+|-)?[0-9]+)?

Note

Anchoring a regular expression with ^ and $
      is not implemented in the current version of Leex and just
      generates a parse error.

This article describes how to automatically start an application during or after boot of a Colibri module running Embedded Linux.
You can easily start your scripts or applications as daemons.
A daemon is an application that runs as a "background" process (without a terminal or user interface).
Starting with V2.x of our Linux BSP we use systemd as our init and service manager.
systemd is a system and service manager for Linux, also capable of replacing the traditional SysV init system.
Service files can be found in /etc/systemd/system/ and, for distribution provided ones in /lib/systemd/system/. Services can be started or permanently enabled using the systemctl command.
The common configuration items are configured in the generic "[Unit]" and "[Install]" sections. The service specific configuration options are configured in the "[Service]" section.
Service files must include a "[Service]" section, which carries information about the service and the process it supervises.
Copy the unit configuration file to "/etc/systemd/system" and use the systemctl tool for starting or permanently enabling the service.
Each time a login shell is spawned the script /etc/profile plus all scripts in /etc/profile.d are executed. This is done for logins over a serial line, over an ssh connection and also for logins in the display manager to a graphical desktop.
/etc/profile is sourced upon login: it sets up the environment upon login and application-specific settings by sourcing any readable file in /etc/profile.d/.
Using /etc/profile is well suited to set the environment or to do some small tasks. Note that these scripts must return control in order to continue with the login.
Remove the file /etc/profile.d or the additions to /etc/profile in order to undo the automatic execution.
Add a script file in /etc/profile.d/*.sh.
You can start applications automatically when you login into your Window Manager or Desktop Environment.
- A lxsession specific way in which the entries in the files /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart and in ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart are parsed.
- A generic way which many session managers support. Files in the folders /etc/xdg/autostart/ and ~/.config/autostart/ ending in .desktop get parsed and if applicable the application described therein is started.
Edit /etc/xdg/lxsession/LXDE/autostart or ~/.config/lxsession/LXDE/autostart. Add the application to a new line in the file. If you want that your application gets restarted should it get terminated abnormally, precede the application name with a @.
Note that this file is not a shell script and therefore shell acrobatics like redirectors and pipes are not allowed. If required this can be worked around by spawning a custom shell script which in turn can support the full shell feature set.
Adding the .desktop file to autostart.
If you want to execute lxterminal automatically at startup.
Create a terminal.desktop in /etc/xdg/autostart/ .
Exec filename of the application plus optionally arguments.
Note: A graphical file manager will list .desktop files not with their file name but rather with the value of the key "Name". e.g. in the example above "LXTerminal".
To disable the automatic start of an application, just either remove the respective .desktop file from /etc/xdg/autostart/ and/or .config/autostart/ or add the key NotShowIn=LXDE; to the desktop file. Alternatively use the graphical front end 'LXDE Menu'/Preferences/'Desktop Session Settings' and untick the 'Enabled' checkbox.
If one wants to start X11, maybe start some configuration tasks like keyboard mapping, touch screen calibration and then start the one and only user application one could adopt a scheme like the one used in angstrom-qt5-x11-image and qt4e-demo-image.
The qt4e-demo-image and angstrom-qt5-x11-image (prior to 2.8b2) use a systemd service and a home brew script. The script starts the X-server followed by the user application. Integrating any setup tasks between the start of X11 and the start of the user application into the script produces a bunch of issues as this sometimes stops the X-server and so on.
However for a simple system that might be enough.
To start your X11 application instead of the demo application change the script accordingly.
The angstrom-qt5-x11-image (starting with 2.8b2) uses the simple display manager nodm from OpenEmbedded to start X11. This uses the configuration data in /etc/X11, e.g. Xsession.d, e.g. to start the touch calibrator. As the last step it searches for a script x-window-manager and sources that one.


The land of rising sun is becoming the land of endless discovery. Thanks to the easy process of getting a Japan Visa.
Step #1: WHERE to start?
Step #2: WHAT documents to submit?
Step #3: HOW to submit the application?
Step #4: WHEN to collect your passport?
My Facebook Timeline is overtaken by the country of 'Pokemon'. For the last few years, everyone is either visiting Japan or is in planning mode. Japan has suddenly become the 'IT' place for tourists. From the slopes of Mount Fuji to the temple streets of Kyoto, tourists are flocking Japan's tourist spots, using their JR Passes to map out the length and breadth of the country, getting blown away by Sakura and swiping their credit cards on cosmetics, sushi and high-tech gadgets.
Whatever might be the reason, Japan is swiftly climbing in the preferred destination list. The cheap yen, easier visas and Government initiatives like "cool Japan", "Omotenashi" seem to be working its magic to lure tourists to Japan. So if you too are thinking to visit Japan but is puzzled how to go about the visa process then this post is for you.
Residents from 67 Countries and regions can enter Japan without a visa for short term stay. If your country didn't make it to the list then you are required to apply for the Japan Visa. Start your process by visiting the website of Embassy of Japan in your country and download the Application Form and Checklist based on your purpose of travel. If applying from India visit VFS website. If applying from any other country visit the website of Japan Embassy in that country, for example, I used Philippines website.
Japan Embassy has accredited travel partners in each country it functions. In India, it has empaneled VFS and in the Philippines, it has 6 accredited agencies. Visit the accredited agency's office and submit the required documents along with the visa fee (cash only). The visa fees are 1090 INR in India and 1200 Php for Foreigners (1000 Php for locals) in the Philippines.
Since I was applying from the Philippines I used Discovery Tours. They were very efficient and helpful. They went out of their way to help. They even agreed to check my documents and guide me before final document submission, which was not even included in their services.
Even after traveling frequently around the world, visas still scare me. But I am so glad Japan Visa process was a cakewalk. Hope it is the same for you!
This post is based on my personal experience. The visa outcome can vary depending on your situation.
Wow, thanks for sharing this. Also, what do you mean by "travel blogger credentials"?


اینکه کاربران بتوانند از یک کامپیوتر برای بیش از یک نفر استفاده کنند ، موضوع جدیدی نیست. مایکروسافت این قابلیت را در ویندوزهای ورژن های گوناگون با ساختن یوزر های متعدد امکان پذیر نموده است. در این روش ، یوزرها باید سوییچ به یکدیگر و یا لاگ آف کنند تا بتوانند به محیط دسکتاپ خود دسترسی پیدا کنند.
اکنون با استفاده از SoftXpand Duo Pro شما قادر خواهید بود از یک کامپیوتر برای دو تا چهار نفر بطور کاملا جداگانه استفاده نمایید. بدیهی است برای این کار به موس و کیبورد و مانیتور جداگانه برای هر کاربر نیاز خواهید داشت. همچنین کلیه امکانات سخت افزار مابین یوزرها تقسیم خواهد شد.
شما می توانید از SoftXpand Duo Pro برای دو کاربر با هزینه ی $39 / €33 و برای سه کاربر با هزینه کردن مبلغ $59 / €49 و نهایتا برای چهار کاربر با صرف مبلغ $79 / €66 بهره ببرید.
قبل از خرید میتوانید از دموی این نرم افزار بمدت 20 روز برای مشاهده امکانات و قابلیت های این نرم افزار استفاده کنید.
A computer shared by two or more users is nothing new. Windows makes available multiple accounts, each with its own settings. The downside is that users have to take turns to use the system. SoftXpand Duo Pro takes this a step further and allows multiple users to use the same machine at the same time.
The requirements for the setup do not include high performance hardware but you need a keyboard, mouse and monitor for each user. Also, the capabilities of the components do limit what you can do with the machine since resources are split between the two accounts.
SoftXpand Duo Pro is a $39 / €33 purchase if you want to share the system between two users, $59 / €49 for three and $79 / €66 for four users. A 20-day trial period allows you to test the application and check if it is suitable at no cost. Another limitation is that the machine will log off on an hourly basis.
Installing the application is no big deal, just a quick run through standard screens; any additional resources it requires are downloaded and installed automatically. At the end of the procedure the machine needs to be restart for the changes to take effect.
Mind that the extra monitors need to be connected and you need to have all user accounts already set up. Next, you need to connect the mouse and keyboard for each of them and dialog will pop up asking you to make per account assignment of the detected mice and keyboards.
It is a fairly simple procedure, but it all depends on the machine you're rigging up for multiple, concomitant usage.
We ran into some trouble when using a high-performance machine (Alienware M17xR3), but we quickly got to the bottom of the problem with the help of the developer.
It appears that SoftXpand won't be able to separate the accounts on all systems with two GPUs (generally, there is one on-board and a heftier, discreet one). The solution is to disable the less powerful device and run only the more potent one.
This can be done by disabling the desired component from BIOS prior to installing the program; there is also a workaround for the case where SoftXpand has already been installed on the system but it is a slightly more complicated task.
Make sure there are no risks for this procedure as in some cases flashing BIOS is required in order to be allowed to block one of the graphics cards.
As a company representative explained, laptops with multiple GPUs is the less common case among their users and desktop computers make for a much heftier share.
When we tested SoftXpand Duo Pro on a single GPU desktop, the application caused no trouble and we were quickly running the accounts separately, as if they were on individual machines.
The interface of the application (Cluster Manager) is nothing complicated: just a simple screen showing the workstations currently turned on, the option to stop any of them, to reset or disable the application. For the last two options, a system restart is required.
The developer has prepared SoftXpand Duo Pro for the cases when users might need an IP per station and provides the possibility to enable virtual addresses for each machine. This can be done from the Configuration panel available when selecting the host system.
Additional settings relate to assigning and sharing the computer resources between the two accounts. The application detects available devices and allows you to change the workstation they work under by simply dragging and dropping them to the desired field.
There is also the possibility to define the components that can be shared between the two accounts. This includes resources such as printers, optical drive, sound system, removable storage devices, etc.
Some devices are non-shareable, and these include audio input, webcam, keyboard and mouse.
If the system has multiple audio devices, dedicated channels can be assigned to different users, otherwise both accounts will share the sound. This means that each user has control over the volume.
Even if the accounts and hardware devices are separated, it is still a single machine you're running, so software resources are shared. Some applications do not run multiple instances of their process.
In this case, the solution is to run them in a virtual environment, such as the one provided by Sandboxie, which is also recommended by the developer. It can be very useful when setting up SoftXpand for gaming purposes, but in no way limited to this.
Be careful to the license terms of the product, though, because they may not allow multiple users sharing the same license.
At the moment, SoftXpand Duo Pro works only on Windows 7 and below, but the development team is working on making it compatible with Windows 8 and above.
The application can prove useful in corporate environments, but it would be even more beneficial for home users, especially in gaming sessions.

With searing commentary and wit, "Fresh" does a fantastic job commenting on the horrors of abusive relationships and misogyny.
Directed by Mimi Cave, "Fresh" follows a young woman named Noa– played by Daisy Edgar-Jones– being disillusioned by online dating. Like every young woman, Noa faces the challenges of dating. Noa's outlook on romantic relationships is bleak until she meets Steve at a grocery store.
Steve, played by Sebastian Stan, is the perfect date; he is charming, sweet, and funny. For the first time, Noa feels smitten. Although their meet-cute is awkward, he is genuine. He relates to her struggles and is surprisingly charming.
Cave does a spectacular job setting up the story. The first thirty minutes seem like a stereotypical romantic comedy. It has common tropes like a meet-cute, a camera-turning makeout scene, and a dance scene. The lighting is warm and idyllic. Like Noa, the viewer has a false sense of security. Steve is such a nice guy, so of course Noa agrees to travel with him.
Even though the first half hour is adorable, the movie continually reminds us that this is a horror movie. Screenwriter Lauryn Kahn adds complexity to Noa's and Steve's strange romance. Steve pushes Noa's boundaries, which is common in abusive relationships. Although Noa does not see Steve's behavior as problematic, most of her friends find him questionable. Mollie, played by Jonica T. Gibbs, warns Noa about Steve and his motives. The audience sees the red flags, but Noa does not.
MGK's "Mainstream Sellout": a Well-Executed, Fun, Yet Emotionally Charged Mix of Songs
Remembering Who We Fight For
Jennifer Hirsch Talks Sex, Campus Assault, Changing the Culture
When the thirty-minute mark passes, everything changes. The honeymoon phase is over.
Steve goes from a stable man to every woman's nightmare. He drops the kind act, and Noa faces a disturbed and sinister individual.
Not only does Noa have to defeat Steve, but she is also up against a large group of men who treat women like pieces of meat. The only way to survive this terrible situation is to indulge in Steve's fantasies. Either comply or die.
"Fresh" has important commentary about relationships. While the events in the movie are hyperbolic, men like Steve exist everywhere. They are the "nice guys" who are not outwardly sexist. They preach about feminism, but they treat women poorly behind closed doors. I have met my fair share of "nice guys" and they are all insufferable.
These "nice guys" are not only annoying, but they are also dangerous. Steve still insists that he is a good person, but he does terrible things to women. He gaslights and tortures Noa while maintaining his "good guy" persona. Men like Steve are an unfortunate reality for women.
Women's empowerment is an essential theme in this movie. Although Noa and Mollie encounter Steve's abuse, their friendship is still strong. For so long, women were just the victims of violence. In movies like "Scream", violence is a common trope against women.
Unlike other thriller or horror movies, "Fresh" challenges that trope because instead of relying on men, the main characters save themselves. Characters like Steve abuse Noa and Mollie, but they are not helpless.
"Fresh" is an amazing movie that discusses sexism and toxic relationships. I recommend it, but I would advise against eating while watching it.

Racing toward a healthier world, one community at a time
By Karen S. Lynch | Jun 03 2015
Aetna President Karen S. Rohan
Aetna has an audacious goal – to build a healthier world. It's a big job and it won't happen overnight. But it will happen. We'll do it by focusing on one person at a time, one community at a time.
All health care has to be local, especially if you want to build healthier communities. So our business is moving in this direction. We're taking a more deliberate, local approach to new models of care like health insurance exchanges, and accountable care organizations with local doctors and hospitals.
And we continue to invest in programs that support community health, which are making it easier for people to get and stay healthy. Last year, Aetna and the Aetna Foundation awarded more than $20 million in grants to local organizations. And our employees volunteered more than 420,000 hours of community service.
As president of Aetna, I take tremendous pride in our company's strong commitment to community. I'll carry this pride with me at the Komen Connecticut Race for the Cure on June 6, where I have the privilege of serving as Honorary Chair for the third consecutive year.
During my time as Honorary Chair, we've grown Team Aetna to more than 600 runners, walkers and employee volunteers, and created a movement that's changing the lives of people in the community.
We've grown our team one person at a time, and that's how real change occurs. That's why I'm so passionate about Komen. They share our passion for change.
And there's a lot we need to change about breast cancer.
Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women in the U.S., second only to skin cancers. About one in eight (12 percent) women in the U.S. will develop invasive breast cancer during their lifetime. This year alone 231,840 new cases will be diagnosed.
These sobering statistics underscore the importance of early detection — and also the significant community need that organizations like Komen fill. In fact, 75 percent of all funds raised by Komen affiliates stay in their service area and support local breast cancer education, screening and treatment programs.
Are you Racing for the Cure in your community? Follow the conversation and let the world know why you're racing by using the hashtag #IRaceFor
Tweet it now!
That's welcome news for the women – and men – in Connecticut who are battling breast cancer. And there are many of them.
Connecticut's breast cancer rate is one of the highest in the nation, according to the American Cancer Society.
As the leader of a Connecticut-based business that employs more than 6,100 people in the Nutmeg State, this statistic hits close to home and is my motivation for running.
Connecticut and communities everywhere need our help to get healthier. By becoming more locally focused and partnering with organizations like Komen, we can and will build a healthier world. And we'll do it one person at a time, one community at a time.

Fox News Host Greg Gutfeld Predicts Joe 'Will Not Be There for 2024'…But Hunter Can Get Pardoned
YASAMIN JAFARI TEHRANI/shutterstock.com
Greg Gutfeld from Fox News made a bold prediction on Monday's edition of his popular show "The Five." He simply said that President Joe Biden will not "be there for 2024."
Gutfeld went on to explain that he believed the Democrats would push the president to retire at the end of his first term in the White House.
The Fox News host also predicted that the upside for Biden is that he will get to go out with a pardon for his son, Hunter Biden. Hunter is right now the focus of an FBI investigation for his foreign business dealings, especially those that were done while his father was serving as vice president in the Barak Obama administration.
Greg Gutfeld led the panel discussion on "The Five" focusing on the president's son. They talked about the most recent reports regarding the emails found on his laptop. These emails were revealed in a story published by The New York Post and they are now at the center of a federal investigation.
A panelist on the show, Dana Perino, said that it would not surprise her if the Justice Department indicted Hunter Biden. But she did say that she believed the Department of Justice (DOJ) might stretch out its final investigation until after the next presidential election.
Perino said that she previously worked at the DOJ and learned with the rest of those who were spokespersons how to say "no comment" in 101 ways. She said that is exactly what we can expect from the White House and the DOJ.
"They don't have to be told this is super sensitive, they know if there is one iota that it looks like Joe Biden was involved in some way or influenced in some way, the White House messaging … what chief of staff just said … That will all blow apart," Perino said.
Greg Gutfeld challenged Perino's line of thinking. He believes that the DOJ will move quickly with a possible indictment.
"I think… Joe is not going to be there for 2024, right? And they're going to tell him that he's got to go back home. But the tradeoff is that he gets to pardon Hunter," Gutfeld explained.
He reiterated his thought that the DOJ would move quickly so that President Biden can pardon his son and then leave the White House. Gutfeld believes that Attorney General Merrick Garland will in fact indict Hunter Biden, but it will not be for a major crime that requires prison time. He said that Biden will be accused of a minor tax issue. But there is the chance that it could be money laundering and the president will give a pardon by saying he will not run for reelection.
The Democrats could likely decide to push Biden towards retirement after his first four years because of what they have found in recent polls. According to a new Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll, if the election were held right now, Trump would get 47% of the votes compared to 41% for Joe Biden. And Vice President Harris performs even worse in a match-up with former President Trump. She would only get 38% of the vote compared to Trump's 49%.
Mark Penn, the co-director of the Harvard CAPS-Harris Poll survey, indicated that Trump's projected leads over both Harris and Biden are not as tied to Trump's popularity as they are connected to Biden's present challenges with American voters.
If these numbers prove to be accurate, Democratic Party leadership may be willing to bear a Hunter Biden pardon if it means Joe will ride off into the sunset of retirement.

Nicki Minaj is hitting back at her hairdo haters.
The "Anaconda" singer called out the fashion magazine industry for forcing her to switch up her hair style on covers, while letting women of different races sport the same look.
"For years, fashion mags would change my hair for their covers but allow women of a diff race to wear the exact style on the cover," she tweeted Thursday.
Minaj did not identify any specific magazines, but she's a familiar face on the cover circuit, and has graced the front of countless glossies, including Cosmopolitan, Marie Claire, Vogue and Elle.
When a fan suggested that her massive star status should be enough to prevent magazines from switching up her look now, Minaj revealed that the racist practice hasn't been left in the past.
"Actually, they're still doing it babe," she wrote.
The 34-year-old rapper is known for her ever-changing hairstyles spanning every color of the rainbow.
"I get tired of things quickly. I love change when it comes to my look … I need a new fix. It's like a high to me — every time I change my hair it's a high," she told People in 2012.
Minaj is not the first to criticize the magazine industry for appearing to cater to white women.

Dan Keating (b. 1902)
I have had the pleasure of knowing Dan Keating for many years and because I had recorded his recollections in the past, I was aware that he was a mine of information on events in this country during the early days of the 20th century. I travelled to Dan's home in March 2005 and immediately we settled ourselves, it became obvious that he was anxious to return in memory to the turbulent days of his early youth in rural Kerry. Dan was born in January 1902 and at the age of 14 years, he remembers hearing about a large contingent of Volunteers which had gathered at the Rink in Tralee on Easter Sunday 1916. One of the organisers was Paddy Cahill, who was later to be involved in the Lispole Ambush. In 1921 Dan Keating joined the IRA Boherbee B Company. He named for me the different IRA divisions in Tralee and their respective leaders. He spoke about the several British Regiments occupying the Barracks in the town – The Scottish Borderers, the Essex Regiment and the Lancashire Regiment ("The Lancs") – and he maintained that "The Lancs" treated the people more humanely than some of their counterparts. Dan was involved in the Castlemaine Ambush in June 1921 where five RIC men were killed and several others wounded and spoke of his memories of that day. The previous April Denny O'Loughlin had been shot by the IRA in Knightley's Bar in Lower Bridge Street, Tralee, and Dan says that he and Jimmy "Nuts" O'Connor and Percy Hanafin were "fingered" for this and went on the run. They spent a lot of their time in safe houses around Firies where there was always a welcome for them. While the famed Kerry footballer, John Joe Sheehy of Tralee was still on the run in 1924, his friend from North Kerry, Con Brosnan, a Free State Army Officer, went to Dublin to plead with headquarters to allow him a week without capture before and after the All-Ireland Final. The Kerry team which went on to win the Final that year was captained by one John Joe Sheehy.

Temple is een historisch Brits motorfietsmerk, waarvan de motorfietsen uit de OEC-fabriek rolden.

De bedrijfsnaam was Osborn Engineering Co., Gosport, Hampshire (1924-1928).

Nadat Claude Temple met een 996 cc V-twin veel races gewonnen had, ging OEC onder de naam Temple ook seriemodellen maken. Deze hadden echter een 496 cc Anzani "Vulpine"-kopklepmotor of een 497 cc Atlanta-OHC-blok (Atlanta-Duo hoorde ook bij het OEC-concern, de blokken werden ook bij Anzani gebouwd). Ook de Temple modellen werden vanaf 1927 uitgerust met het "Duplex-stuursysteem" van OEC.

This week I created a video demonstrating seven simple, natural movement exercises on a pull-up bar. In this post, I explain why I recommend these exercises for beginners and discuss the benefits of incorporating these movements into your natural movement practice.
I haven't included pull-ups in this list for a few reasons. First, everyone already knows what a pull-up is, and it's usually the first exercise people think of when they see a pull-up bar (hence the name!) You don't need me to show you a pull-up, but if you've spent most of your movement / fitness life in a gym context, you might not know that these other exercises exist, let alone how beneficial they can be.
The other reason to not include a pull-up in a list of beginner exercises is because… what is the point of a pull-up? I'm not saying they are bad, I am genuinely asking – what is the point of this movement?
You want to take a single bite of an apple without having to pick it.
You want to lift your feet safely out of the reach of a low-slung but vicious creature such as a puff-adder or Shih Tzu.
Of course, a pull-up is a way to train a particular type of strength and it is a building block for more complex movements like muscle-ups. But a muscle-up is hardly a beginner movement, hence why I haven't included pull-ups in this beginner video.
By all means, do pull-ups, just know the reason why you are choosing to do them. And don't let lack of imagination or knowledge of alternative exercises be one of the reasons! Work on these seven exercises first, then build up your pull-up strength once you are ready to start working on muscle-ups!
Hanging and swinging from a bar might not seem like much work, until you try it for any length of time and you realise that it is! These movements train your grip strength, activate your lats and engage your core in an amazing, functional way. These movements are incredibly transferable to a natural context. Try climbing a tree, or simply swinging from a low branch and you'll see what I mean.
And, once you have mastered these movements and feel confident doing them, I can almost guarantee that you won't be able to look at low-hanging tree branches without feeling the urge to grab them and swing around. And that, my friends, is why we train!
I'd love to hear how you get on with these beginner exercises on a pull-up bar. Feel free to email me with your questions, comments or suggestions. I reply to every email that I receive.

If you only need to have 1 company for every service that you need, a moving company is a bit different; you need to look for a new company every time you use the service of another company. The reason is because you will be transferring to a new house, and in most cases, it is not inside the area of operation of the company that took your belongings there. So you need to make sure that you are going to look for another company as soon as you started to plan moving to a new location. This is the reason why you need to be familiar with the things that you need to do in order to find the best moving company.

Coal is a combustible sedimentary rock composed mostly of carbon and hydrocarbons . It is the most abundant fossil fuel produced in the United States, but it is a nonrenewable resource. The energy in coal comes from the energy stored by plants that lived hundreds of millions of years ago in swampy forests. Over time, layers of dead plants at the bottom of the swamps were covered by layers of water and dirt, trapping the energy of the dead plants. The heat and pressure from the top layers turned the plant remains into coal.
Is All Coal the Same?
Coal is a complex resource and can vary in composition even within the same deposit. Generally, there are four different types or ranking levels of coal, each with differences in energy output as a result of increased pressurization, heat, and time.
Lignite – This is a brownish-black coal with high moisture and ash content, which has the lowest heating value of the four types of coal. It is considered an "immature" coal that is still soft. It is used for generating electricity.
Sub bituminous coal – This is a dull black coal with a higher heating value than lignite, and is used principally for electricity and space heating.
Bituminous coal – This is the most common type in the United States, accounting for over 50% of the demonstrated reserve base. It is the most commonly used type of coal for electric power generation in the United States. It is a dark, hard coal that has a higher heating value than lignite and sub bituminous coal, but a lower heating value than anthracite.
Anthracite – This is also known as "hard coal" that was formed from bituminous coal under increased pressures in rock strata during the creation of mountain ranges. In the United States, it is located primarily in the Appalachian region of Pennsylvania. It is very hard and shiny. This type of coal is the most compact and therefore, has the highest energy content of the four levels of coal. It is used for space heating and generating electricity. It makes up only 1.5% of the demonstrated reserve base for coal in the United States.
Coal is used primarily as an energy source, either for heat or electricity. It was once heavily used to heat homes and power locomotives and factories. Bituminous coal is also used to produce coke for making steel and other industrial process heating. Coal gasification and coal liquefaction (coal-to-liquids) are also possible uses of coal for producing synthetic fuel. Approximately 4% of the coal mined in the United States is exported, and most of the exported coal is used for making steel.
How Is Electricity Generated from Coal?
coal accounts for approximately 50% of the electricity produced. Mined coal is delivered to coal-fired power plants, where electricity is generated. At the power plant, the coal is combusted to boil water and produce steam to operate a conventional steam turbine and generator , which produces electricity. The electricity is sent to users through a transmission system that consists of electric transmission lines , towers, substations and other components (see the Energy Transmission section to learn more). For a complete listing of the impacts tied to energy production from coal, the impacts from mining and the construction and operation of power plants and transmission systems should be considered.

Donald J. Trump and the Magical Presidency
April 23, 2017 April 23, 2017 daniel	Chief Legislator, Donald J. Trump and the Magical Presidency, Magical Presidency, Manager of Prosperity, Protector of the Peace, Superman: Our Textbook President, The Book that Explains the Trump Presidential Fantasy, The Cult of the Presidency, The Fantasy of Empowerment and Transformation through the Presidency, Trump Presidential Fantasy, Voice of the People, Will Magical Thinking Doom Trump to Failure
Strangely enough Donald J. Trump and at least some of followers seem to believe that the presidency is magic. They think that the president has the power to transform America, individuals and the world.
The idea behind the Trump presidential fantasy is a simple yet compelling one. The basic concept is that the presidency has shamanistic powers that can bring about a transformation of America and the world. This belief in the magical or shamanistic powers of the presidency explains much of Trump's appeal and the personality cult that has developed around him.
Many Trump followers; especially older and less sophisticated individuals, think or hope the president has the power to return America to a simpler, more pleasant time. Others hope the President can restore what they see as traditional American values, or bring prosperity by reviving lost industries and restoring what they see as the real economy. There are also others who believe Donald can restore white America or the real America.
The Fantasy of Empowerment and Transformation through the Presidency
Not surpassingly such views appeal most to marginalized groups like working class whites; and individuals normally excluded from the political consensus, such as white nationalists. This mantra of empowerment and transformation through executive power is a core tenant of Steve Bannon's alt-right ideology and of what we may call the new nationalism.
Yet many will wonder what Trump himself gets or hopes to get from this belief and the presidency. My guess is that Trump is seeking redemption and salvation through the Oval Office.
From what I have read of him, Trump is one man who has a lot to be ashamed of. His business career is a long litany of scams, shady deals, failures and questionable practices. Over the decades Trump has been accused of racism, sexual assault, bribery, fraud and doing business with the Mafia among other offenses.
Remember Donald is a Christian; who grew up Presbyterian with at least a nominally pious Scottish mother. He may actually feel guilty about some of the things he has done such as Trump University and reality TV.
Trump might believe that he can achieve redemption through the presidency. He hopes to make up for his past sins; and those of his father Fred Trump, through "public service." The Donald may also think he can erase his shameful past with a successful stint in the White House.
Such magical thinking might sound absurd but it is no more absurd than Trump's campaign or some of his promises such as the Wall. Nor is such thinking that far off from that of earlier Presidents; such as Theodore Roosevelt who was ashamed of his ill health and his father's draft-dodging during the Civil War.
Will Magical Thinking Doom Trump to Failure
Such magical thinking might doom Trump and his administration to failure because of the unrealistic expectations. We saw a similar pathology in the Obama administration after reality exposed "Hope" as little more than a shallow catchphrase.
How will Trump react when he realizes that he cannot achieve either salvation or redemption by sacrificing himself upon the altar in the Oval Office? How will his true believers act when they finally learn that "Make America Great Again" is nothing but a slogan?
The most likely outcome will be something like the Carter administration. That is a lonely and embattled president betrayed his own party and abandoned by voters. Jimmy Carter; like Trump, ran as a transformative candidate and a populist promising great change and delivered nothing. He went down to a dismal defeat at Ronald Reagan's hands after a year of foreign policy humiliations.
The Book that Explains the Trump Presidential Fantasy
An excellent overview of the magical thinking behind the fantasy of the omnipotent president can be found in Gene Healy's The Cult of the Presidency. Healy does a great job of exposing the unrealistic assumptions Americans have of the presidency and their historical origins.
Particularly disturbing is this list of the roles a president is expected to assume. The fantasy president's job titles include:
World Leader
Protector of the Peace – (I would say policeman or sheriff of the world).
Chief Legislator – in reality the president has little influence or control over Congress as Trump recently learned in the health care debacle.
Manager of Prosperity
It is obviously impossible for any human being to assume those roles. Yet it is obvious that a significant portion of the American electorate thinks just that. Trump won partially by pandering to that wishful thinking.
Healy also exposes the intellectual and cultural basis of this concept of the presidency. He refers to Thomas Cronin's 1970 essay Superman: Our Textbook President. Cronin examined dozens of political science textbooks published between 1955 and 1970 and found descriptions of the president that sounded more like the Last Son of Krypton than the chief executive of a modern republic.
"Little wonder then, that small children raised in that environment imbibed the view that those wielding power were almost invariably benevolent, and none more benevolent, or more powerful than the president," Healy wrote. That partially explains Trump; those small children are now his voters.
Pew found that 53% of those over 65 preferred Trump and his projection of a strong. Trump does best among those who grew up in the age when the presidency was glorified and worse with those raised with postmodern skepticism of the office. Around 57% of Americans between 18 and 30 thought Trump's presidency was illegitimate a poll from the Black Youth Project, the University of Chicago and the Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research found.
Persons raised with the textbook Superman, Kennedy and Camelot or memories of FDR want Trump. Those who grew up with Saturday Night Live, South Park, Jay Leno monologues, The Daily Show, Watergate and Monica Lewinsky loathe the man.
What Trump Voters Think
To be fair most Trump voters probably don't subscribe to the magical thinking. A large percentage of them even understand and sometimes freely admit that the Donald is a buffoon and fraud.
Here's how I break down the Trump voters:
True believers. Those who believe in Presidential magic and accept the Trump presidential fantasy as reality. Around 20%
The useful idiot school. Conservatives and others who view Trump as a useful idiot they can control and manipulate for their own purposes. This view is far more wide spread than many people realize. During the election I heard radio talker Dennis Prager tell a listener to vote for Trump because Vice President Mike Pence will be making all the decisions. Around 30%.
Protest voters. This might include leftists out to punish Democrats for nominating Hillary; or nihilists out to fuck the system by putting bozo the clown in the White House. Around 10%.
Conservative settlers. Conservatives who think some influence in a Trump White House is preferable to no influence in a Clinton Administration. Some of them are only interested in one issue such as guns or abortion and willing to settle for Trump if he gives them that. Around 20%.
Republican diehards. Those party loyalists who would vote for anybody the party ran no matter what. Such people would have voted for Charles Manson if the GOP nominated him and quite probably campaigned for the murderous maniac. Around 20%. (Note: I'm not picking on Republicans here, a similar percentage of Democrats would vote for Lex Luthor or Freddy Krueger if their party nominated him).
Thankfully the believers in the magical presidency appear to be a minority but disturbingly the president is probably one of them.
This of course brings us to an important question only history can answer. Will Donald J. Trump finally kill off the disgusting spectacle of the cult of the presidency and the magical thinking that animates it?
I would say no, because this powerful fantasy still has a strong hold on the American imagination. A more likely scenario is that the true believers in presidential magic will simply will turn on Trump and blame him for the office's impotence.

IN recent months it has produced the handsome and affordable Ghibli sedan. It has unveiled the alluring Alfieri coupe concept. And it has further developed the curvaceous Levante SUV that will debut in 2016.
Several luxury brands of late are brilliantly readying themselves for dramatic product and image improvements in the next few years. These are automakers fallen from superstar status decades ago but that are primed for a comeback. Maserati is one of them.
So, this is as good a time as any to address the Maserati Quattroporte Q4 S, its US$107,000 (RM361,166) AWD sedan.
Ghibli recently overtook the flagship Quattroporte in US sales this year, an expected and telling sign about the healthy future of the company. That mid-sized sports sedan is the most exciting and most significant part of chief executive officer (CEO) Sergio Marchionne's goal to sell 50,000 Maseratis worldwide by 2015.
But Quattroporte is a touchstone for the marque, both as a measure of where it has been and where it is going. It's spacious and capable in inclement weather.
It is not the fastest car of its general size and price on the market. It is also not the tightest handling and supremely engineered of the lot. Nor is it the most plush.
But the Maserati Quattroporte Q4 S does have a certain style. Driving it makes you feel, if not suave like in the Audi, at least little nasty. It doesn't have real swagger like an Aston Martin, but it has a bit of an ego and the personality to match. I just wish the engine had more of a growl to back that up.
I have never been a fan of the modern Maserati look — the shark gills on the sides, the huge toothy grill grin, the wide stance that apparently feels the need to visually clear its throat to everyone on the road. Of course, they are exactly the reason why some people adore the Maserati.
"Our buyers are extremely passionate," Peter Grady, president and CEO of Maserati North America, told me recently. He said the level of engagement is very high for current owners, and that the rate of closing a sale once someone comes in to the dealership is higher than 80%.
The trouble is getting fresh faces inside the dealership in the first place, and I'm not sure Quattroporte is the car to do it. That said, the new day-running LED headlights and wraparound LED rear lights, twin oval tailpipes and standard 19-inch rims work well together to present a uniform look on the car. The red brake calipers on the spec car I received looked sporty. And I do love the royal connotations and old-school charm of that famous Maserati trident evident throughout the wheels, sills, leathers and hood of the car.
The 8.4-inch touchscreen, in particular, is perhaps the most intuitive and responsive one in its class. It controls the front seat heaters, climate, radio, navigation and drive modes. The back seat feels like a hollowed-out bunker. Massive. You might as well bring a change of clothes and a deck of cards for this thing. It's not especially plush, but it has decently appointed leather and wood like a higher-end chain hotel room or the cabin on a private jet. It's a good choice if you want something a little lean but still big enough when it comes to comfort.
Driving the Maserati Quattroporte is not especially memorable or thrilling. But I have a feeling most of the people who buy a Quattroporte don't buy it for its performance prowess anyway.
It does feel capable, if heavy, around corners, and gains speed along highway stretches.
The car feels smooth as it accelerates, yes, but it's the smoothness of a large beast that has determined to finally gather some speed and gallop in the right direction.
Fine, then. But it's not a smooth transition to move it from drive to neutral, or from neutral to reverse. Instead, it feels like you're pushing buttons and pulling levers every which way like on some sort of trolley.

Many small edits for consistency of notation and for clarity.
In 2006, I produced Introduction to Economic Analysis, a free, open sourced, creative-commons-licensed textbook spanning introductory and intermediate microeconomics. There were few adoptions. That there were several high profile adoptions like NYU and Harvard convinced me that the lack of adoptions was not due to the material itself, or even my exposition of the material, but instead to two factors. First, the book isn't traditional: it is aimed to be more like economists actually practice economics, analyzing interesting issues with models and a modicum of data. Second, there were no supplemental materials.
In 2007 I went to work for Yahoo! and ceased teaching. At this point progress on the project stalled. To address the lack of supplemental materials and to continue progress on the creation of low cost, high quality materials, I enlisted Tracy Lewis of the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University, to co-author a new text built on IEA, and joined with Flat World Knowledge. Flatworld has an "online free, modestly-priced printed" creative-commons model.
The second version is a substantial rewrite. The material is re-ordered and the 7 substantive chapters broken into 20 more manageable chapters. The material is rewritten to make it more accessible to a standard intermediate audience. There were many bug-fixes. Professors considering the text should choose likely prefer this version. Mathematically adept independent readers, especially engineers, wishing to learn about economics may prefer the 2006-7 version.

"Let me say that your creative commons Ec 11 text is awesome. Its so much better than anything else out there I've seen... better than MIT's open courseware, and basically every other 'intro to ec' book I've skimmed. It's the Ec book I wish I had... only in my later readings of more advanced books (like Kreps' Microeconomics and The Mathematical Structure of Economics) did I find the cool topics from your book (like auction theory, etc.). However, those either had tons of fluff (especially mathematical fluff) or were all theory without the interesting demographics."
This book presents introductory economics ("principles") material using standard mathematical tools, including calculus. It is designed for a relatively sophisticated undergraduate who has not taken a basic university course in economics. It also contains the standard intermediate microeconomics material and some material that ought to be standard but is not. The book can easily serve as an intermediate microeconomics text. The focus of this book is on the conceptual tools and not on fluff. Most microeconomics texts are mostly fluff and the fluff market is exceedingly over-served by $100+ texts. In contrast, this book reflects the approach actually adopted by the majority of economists for understanding economic activity. There are lots of models and equations and no pictures of economists.

Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp c.1960, by kind permission of P.A.X. Reintjens (from "Luister", April 2000) © 2017
Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp (1906–2000) was one of the early Dutch pioneers of historically informed performance. He prepared editions from composers' manuscripts and original printed sources and reintroduced the viola da gamba and violoncello piccolo into the musical life of Holland in the 1920s and 1930s.
As Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp himself appreciated that his name was a bit of a mouthful, he often shortened it to Carel Boomkamp, particularly when he was abroad. Jaap Schröder, who knew him well, told me that he would often say, "Let's leave the lions at home today" (leeuwen is "lions" in Dutch).
The fifth of six children, he was born in Borculo, in the east of the Netherlands, where his father was a clergyman. He began playing the cello when he was eleven, and left school at the tender age of fifteen, to study in Paris with Gérard Hekking, who had been principal cellist of the Concertgebouw Orchestra from 1903 to 1914 (and was later to teach Tortelier and Gendron).
Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp in 1925 © 2017
Boomkamp returned to Holland in 1925 to become the solo cellist of the Haarlem Orchestral Society. Shortly after he turned twenty, he landed the same job with the Concertgebouw Orchestra, making him the youngest solo cellist in the history of that orchestra.
Speaking at a rehearsal, Willem Mengelberg, the Concertgebouw Orchestra's conductor, told Richard Strauss, "He's just out of the egg, but he plays the cello magnificently". Not enjoying Mengelberg's "heavy German pathos", Boomkamp left in 1930 to work as a soloist, play a great deal of chamber music and teach at the conservatories of Amsterdam, Utrecht and The Hague where, from the late 1940s, he took the ensemble class with the harpsichordist Janny van Wering.
Boomkamp became interested in early music while still a teenage student in Paris, through studying the cello suites of Bach. He was surprised by all the very different editions that were available, and then came across a facsimile of Bach's autograph, which was a revelation to him, and that was the beginning of his interest in "authentic" performance. At this time, he also "discovered" the works of Antoine Forqueray and Marin Marais and had copies made of the originals.

Boomkamp taught himself to play the gamba in 1926 using the Tratado (1553) of Diego Ortiz and an antique viola da gamba borrowed from the private musical instrument museum of the wealthy banker Daniël Scheurleer, who lived in The Hague. Take the virtual museum tour here.
As this instrument "had a very light timbre and six strings", he decided to have a heavier seven-string gamba, with a very large sound, built by the Amsterdam violin-maker, Max Möller Snr. Boomkamp explained:
At that time, in the St Matthew Passion, singers performed as if they were on the stage in La Traviata, so you couldn't possibly balance that with a subtle [small] gamba sound. Also, everyone was used to the sound of the cello, so the way in which I played the gamba obbligati was a compromise. Back then, a large sound was everything, and the gamba sound that we now have would have just been considered to be a thin squeak.
Boomkamp first played the viola da gamba in the St Matthew Passion in 1929 in the first complete performance given in Holland, by the Dutch Bach Society in the Grote Kerk in Naarden. He continued with the Bach Society until well into the 1960s, and also played for performances with the Concertgebouw Orchestra after the war.
Listen to Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp play Marin Marais's Le Tableau de l'Opération de la Taille (a musical description of a bladder operation) on the gamba (in 1963?)
Compare Boomkamp's playing with the same piece performed by Coin and Hogwood (in 1992)
Teacher and researcher
Boomkamp taught for over 40 years, and his students included – as well as half of the cello section of the Concertgebouw Orchestra – Gustav Leonhardt and the cello superstar, Anner Bylsma.
Anner Bylsma remembers:
At the conservatory, [Boomkamp] introduced me to old bows and the old way of bowing, which, at that time, I didn't do much with. However, later, when I came to play with Frans Brüggen [and Gustav Leonhardt] in 1960, these wise lessons were of enormous use to me.
Leonhardt learned the cello and gamba with Boomkamp from the age of ten, and was taught Marin Marais's table of ornaments (sowing the seeds for what was to come later). He particularly liked playing the gamba with an old bow. When Leonhardt returned from Vienna, he accompanied his former teacher in several concerts.
Boomkamp was one of the first to understand the importance of bows in creating an "authentic" sound, and wrote about this in De klanksfeer der oude muziek … (The Sound Atmosphere of Early Music …) in 1947.
His research was based on the examination of manuscripts and early editions and his practical experience with early bows and the old musical instruments that he had started buying in the 1920s. A catalogue of his important and extensive collection (now, sadly, housed in a storage depot at the Gemeente Museum in The Hague) was published in 1971.
Repertoire and ensembles
Like many other pioneers, Boomkamp played standard repertoire along with early music, sometimes combining very different periods, and the gamba and cello, in the same concert. One extreme example was in December 1939, at the Concertgebouw, when he played Telemann's Suite in D major for viola da gamba and strings (watch and listen) followed by the Cello Concerto No.1 by Saint-Saëns. (watch and listen)
In Holland, he was the first to play Haydn's Cello Concerto in D authentically, with oboes and horns and a five-stringed violoncello piccolo. He also had a keen interest in contemporary music, introduced many new works and had several pieces specially written for him by Henk Badings, Johannes Röntgen, Anthon van der Horst, Rudolf Escher and Hendrik Andriessen.
He was the gamba player and cellist of Musica Antiqua probably the first professional Dutch early music ensemble (active from 1935 to 1948),
Musica Antiqua, at the BBC, in 1937 © 2017
with the flautist Johan Feltkamp and the violinist Nicolas Roth (both from the Concertgebouw Orchestra), and with Erwin Bodky on the harpsichord. Their first BBC radio broadcast was in June 1937, when they were described as "seasoned Radio Hilversum performers", and they made around 15 programmes, excluding the war years. They also performed at least once for the BBC's new-fangled television, as the photo (used in a Concertgebouw programme) shows.
In 1938, Boomkamp formed a very famous, and short-lived, trio with Russian pianist Alexander Borovsky and Nicholas Roth, and he gave many concerts with the pianist Eduard van Beinum (who was also Mengelberg's assistant).
He was a member of Alma Musica (1947–1964), an ensemble consisting of violin, viola, cello/gamba, flute, oboe d'amore/cor anglais and harpsichord which played and recorded both early music in many different combinations, as well as contemporary works specially written for them.
In 1952 he established the renowned Netherlands String Quartet, with Nap de Klein, Paul Godwin and a very youthful Jaap Schröder. He formed the ensemble Sonata da Camera, with the violinists Willem Noske and Piet Nijland and harpsichordist Hans Schouwman, in 1958.
Boomkamp was a top-flight soloist who had toured extensively in a dozen countries by 1938, when he was listed in the Dutch National Biography; he was one of the founding fathers of the Dutch early music movement, and features prominently in Van der Klis (see below). He was an erudite collector of instruments and the teacher of generations of cellists and gamba players, all of whom he imbued with the spirit of historical performance practice. Although in later years he performed mostly in ensembles, he was particularly famous for his interpretation of the Bach cello suites, and was the first to play the sixth suite on a violoncello piccolo (using a re-imagined instrument made by Möller, who didn't believe that such a thing had ever existed).
In Holland, he was a much-loved and respected institution and when he died, in 2000, significant obituaries appeared in all the major newspapers and musical magazines.
Once again, that excellent book, Oude muziek in Nederland, by Jolande van der Klis, has been a valuable source in writing this post; the English translation of various quotes is my own. Thanks are also due to Jaap Schröder.

I was lucky to study privately with Carel van Leeuwen Boomkamp during my gymnasium [grammar school] years. To me the cello always was exciting but I didn't like the professional cello world, which I knew only from records. He opened up a new world for me, a world of beautiful sound. He made many interesting remarks during the lessons, which I will never forget. His system of cello playing was as clear as water to me. Disliking steel strings (he would call the colleagues who played on them the 'Staalmeesters' [steel masters]), it was the pure beauty of gut strings that came right into my heart. He told me that the decision to become a professional cellist was made during a [childhood] sickness, while his mother played a record of Casals. This sound was intoxicating and he gave up any resistance. Looking back, I think there was a little weakness in him – little I say – concerning business affairs, and a small unnatural stiffness in his playing in later years, being heavily praised and seen by many as the professor of cello – with outstanding pupils. His book on performance practice is a proof of intelligent thinking, first of all, and testimony of independent, creative living with and for the music. The two and a half years in his study-room with his collection of instruments on the walls remain a great gift all my life.
