Scriabin – The Poem of Ecstasy Op.30
Superstar 28-year-old Daniil Trifonov was the big draw as the VSO moved into the first concerts of its next hundred years. I am sure no one was disappointed with the lovely, clean touch, bristling intelligence and commanding bravura the pianist brought to Rachmaninoff's Third Piano Concerto, but the orchestra had some difficulties in keeping up with him. The preceding Rachmaninoff Isle of the Dead and Scriabin's The Poem of Ecstasy saw Maestro Tausk and the orchestra on surer footing, yielding performances of strength and cohesion. The star of the preceding concert was soprano Adrianne Pieczonka, who drew out ravishing legato lines in orchestrations of Schubert's lieder. The closing Mahler's First Symphony was definitely a crowd-pleaser, but it was rather small-scale and wanting in both lyrical penetration and Mahlerian ardour.
It goes without saying that Daniil Trifonov is a wonderful pianist, and one can only be impressed with the way he sees the line of the music and negotiates it with cunning variety and disarming technical ease. He is just releasing 'Rach 3' in the final installment of his 'Destination Rachmaninoff' series for Deutsche Grammophon, and his performance of the Concerto No.3 gave a good sample of his finely-chiseled approach to the composer. He often substitutes a refinement and intellectual complexity for romantic padding but is always aware of the rhythmic stride of the composer and the burning immediacy of his emotional fire. The difficulty on this occasion, however, was the reticence of the orchestra. Wind balances with the piano were not very secure, and the string lines that cut and nourish the piano line were too vague to set the underlying lyrical flow in place; thus, there was very little structural seating as the first movement developed. Very quickly, the massive cadenza was upon us, and Trifonov brought forth all the spectacular energy and passion that many came to see, fearlessly combining brusque, insistent chords with virtuoso flights of fancy – all at an incredible speed. But this still seemed light in meaning and emotional resonance, possibly because it was not motivated from an earlier repose. In fact, the pianist so often had to will the movement's development forward that he did not have much time to settle into a lyrical calm or mine the deeper half-lights.
The strings only partially unearthed the melancholy at the opening of the slow movement, but Trifonov's concentration and depth of utterance later on was commanding. There can be little doubt that the pianist keenly understands the force of the composer's pain and struggle. The opening of the finale demonstrated just how much playfulness and ingenuity there is in the pianist's art, twisting and turning on a moment's notice, mixing brusqueness of attack with lyrical charm. The zeal and confident assertion of his final triumphal ascent were quite electric. Unfortunately, the orchestra seemed to get behind the pianist at the end of both movements, which limited impact to a degree. I do appreciate that Trifonov's capricious rubato and charges of adrenalin can be a little difficult for an orchestra to follow, even if it adds spontaneity to the whole. Overall, this reading turned out to be very much a work in progress, with enough scintillating moments from the pianist to send most patrons home happy, but only occasionally in touch with the work's full emotional radiance.
The combination of Rachmaninoff's Isle of the Dead and Scriabin's The Poem of Ecstasy was a well-chosen appetizer to the concerto, and Tausk and the orchestra were much more on their mettle. Both works, written contemporaneously in 1908, have a strong extra-musical inspiration and cultivate a rich emotional expression. The former was inspired by Arnold Böcklin's painting of the same name and was actually recorded early on by the composer and championed later by Koussevitsky, Reiner and Svetlanov. Tausk may have foregone some of the more mysterious Russian mists at the opening of Isle and moved a little quickly, but he gave a cogent and unified account of the tone poem, increasing the tension from the passionate viola/cello theme in the middle of the movement and building to a scintillating climax at the end. The orchestral playing was attentive and strong. Overall, this was better Rachmaninoff than Tausk's previous efforts with the Symphonic Dances (too willful) and his Second Symphony (too dispersed).
It was instructive to hear the Scriabin next to the Rachmaninoff: the feeling was quite different in spite of their heightened emotional reach. I have increasingly come to enjoy a broadly New Vienna approach to the opening atonal fragments of The Poem of Ecstasy, acerbic and slightly dissociated, before the work moves to its richer chromatic textures and passionate outbursts. Tausk, however, went on a different path: the opening fragments hinted at a French delicacy, and the work developed with some of the animation and sensual allure of Debussy's Images. The post-Wagnerian fabric seemingly built through the filter of Chausson also involved a Gallic excitability and cheekiness in the brass that reminded me of Roussel. Larry Knopp negotiated the famous solo trumpet line well, and both the middle and closing climaxes had weight and amplitude. I was surprised how well this performance cohered, offering a slightly different take on the composer's sensuality. Still, one wonders how much of a French accent the work should have. There is no doubt that Debussy had some influence on Scriabin, and the composer did complete the work in his brief Paris sojourn from 1906 to 1908. And the score is rife with markings in French and has an alternative French title. There is not much evidence beyond this: the work was premiered in New York, and the composer never lived in Paris again.
The previous concert – the official season opener – turned out to be sort of an exploration in innocence. Soprano Adrianne Pieczonka had not sung Schubert lieder before, Otto Tausk has limited experience in Mahler, and Newfoundland composer Bekah Simms, just in her twenties, contributed her first commissioned orchestral work. The world premiere of Simms's Is it now? had some intrigue, but the composition did not get very far in the scheme of things, with relatively predictable changes in orchestration and a naiveté in some of the wind and brass modulations. After a bevy of slicing, acerbic strings, the brass makes slightly longer legato statements, only to become irritable and idiosyncratic; modulated wind lines then preface the return to the opening slicing strings. Simms is a keen student of the psychological state of 'anxiety', and I admit I felt some of that. A striking moment came in one of the declamatory brass sequences in the middle where, suddenly, the imposing chords of Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky popped out of the texture.
Adrianne Pieczonka's traversal of six Schubert lieder with orchestra, the highlight of this evening, showed off her enchanting soprano voice and vocal control. One recalls that Claudio Abbado championed these orchestral arrangements (by composers from Berlioz to Britten), which led to his recording with Anne Sofie von Otter and Thomas Quasthoff. Alan Gilbert has shown interest more recently. One must get used to the fact that the songs can often lack the expressive immediacy or intimacy of their original versions with piano, since the orchestra is a bulkier, less flexible medium. Expression tends to be smoother and more generalized, and the songs sometimes have more the feeling of a long-spun ballad or an extract from a dramatic cantata.
I admired the cultivated elegance of Pieczonka's legato lines, her emotional poignancy and her abilities as a story teller, and liked the fact that she mainly avoided operatic postures. Nonetheless, I would have liked sharper edges in 'Gretchen am Spinnrade' and more intensity (rather than vocal beauty) in 'Der Wegweiser'. Sometimes the consistency of her vocal postures did not serve the differences in the texts that well, leaving some of the range in the composer's emotional world unexplored. Britten's use of the clarinet in 'Die Forelle' was charming, taking me close to 'Der Hirt auf dem Felsen'. The closing 'Erlkönig' gave an opportunity for more dynamic variety, and operatic postures are less out of place. This was not a hair-raising traversal, but it exhibited good dramatic sense, and the singer was impressive in moving to the lighter, quick passages with a fine white tone and consummate agility. I was not very taken by Berlioz's orchestration, though it definitely occurred to me just how fine a Berlioz singer Pieczonka might be. In any event, this was all rewarding, and I would like to hear her perform these with piano too.
Otto Tausk finished the concert with a rather bare-bones Mahler's First, which satisfied the audience but was lacking in colour and a natural lyrical absorption. Even early on, one recognized that the orchestra had too little weight and texture for a Mahler 'sound' and that both winds and the bottom strings (especially the cellos) were too polite: they required considerably more ardour, projection and pungency. The undercurrent of mystery and foreboding at the opening (and in the 'harp' episode later on) were not etched very strongly: insufficient attention was paid to the Mahlerian axiom that 'Nature offers bounty but it is also cruel and sinister'. There was relatively little coaxing charm as the 'wayfarer' motive took flight: the composer's sly rhythmic idiosyncrasies were played down. In fact, the violin phrasing was sufficiently flat and conventional so that the climaxes of the movement seemed to come off with the sort of celebratory joy one finds in Schumann's 'Spring' Symphony – not exactly what Mahler intended! Throughout, the string sforzandi needed to be etched much more forcefully. Strangely, the last timpani note of the movement was given a forceful thwack of finality, rather undermining Mahler's cheeky innovation.
The Ländler had good energy but was again somewhat flat in projection; it needed more bounce and elevation to project its rustic charm. The abrupt accelerando in the opening bars of the cello line struck me as unprecedented. A major concern was the transition into the lyrical Trio, which seemed too practiced to allow much spontaneity, something which I also felt about the 'klezmer' portion of the following movement, which came off as slightly precious. The 'Frère Jacques' theme for the solo double bass was floated out atmospherically with an almost Debussy-like suspension, but perhaps it should have been more withdrawn and astringent. Tausk took both the beginning and end of the finale at a very strong clip, which slightly glamourized each and robbed them of their dramatic weight. Overall, the finale seemed too sectionalized, not sufficiently cataclysmic, and the tender, aching string motive later on was again overprepared and sentimentalized. Perhaps the conductor and orchestra should have waited a bit on this.

Banu Cennetoğlu's The List, 2018, a thrice attacked installation honoring the lives of asylum seekers and refugees that is currently featured in the Liverpool Biennial.
Liverpool Mayor Calls for Volunteers to Help Protect Repeatedly Attacked Artwork
The List, an art project which features the names of the 34,361 people who lost their lives trying to reach Europe since 1993 and is currently installed as part of the ongoing Liverpool Biennial, has been attacked for the third time.
The piece by Istanbul-based artist Banu Cennetoğlu was torn down twice already earlier this summer. As a result, Cennetoğlu decided to leave it in its ruined state so that it would exist "as a manifestation and reminder of systematic violence exercised against people." However, vandals have targeted the work again. It has since been graffitied with the words "Invaders not refugees."
In response, Joe Anderson, the mayor of Liverpool, has denounced the act and called for members of the community to band together to help protect the work. In a post on Twitter published on September 7, the politician wrote: "Those responsible for this defacement of a memorial to innocent dead people fleeing for their lives, have had their brains invaded by hatred. We will not be beaten by fascist thugs and we will pay for another memorial. I want volunteers to help me protect it. #hopenothate"
The 920-foot work, which can be found on hoardings surrounding a construction site on Great George Street, has been "repeatedly damaged, removed and targeted since it was installed," biennial organizers said in a statement. The List is updated every year by the group United for Intercultural Action, and was published in its entirety by the Guardian on World Refugee Day on June 20. It has been shown in several other cities, including Berlin, Istanbul, Basel, and Athens, but has never been vandalized before.

July 29, 2014 | Press Release
BearingPoint and West Monroe announce new book, "Darwinism in a Consumer Driven World"
Management and technology consulting firms West Monroe Partners and BearingPoint today announced publication of their book, Darwinism in a Consumer Driven World. The book, co-authored by Kyle Hutchins, director of Customer Experience at West Monroe, and Erik Campanini, Digital Marketing, Sales & Customer Management leader at BearingPoint, uses various nature-driven models to decode modern consumerism and the challenges it poses to today's businesses.
Darwinism analyzes the disruption of traditional business models and specific brands through the lens of Darwin's evolutionary theory, and provides strategies firms can employ to thrive in today's multiplatform, data-driven age. The authors draw on principles from sociology, anthropology and biology to provide business leaders with a practical guide for adapting their organizations to succeed in a changing world.
"Companies should stop thinking of the ever-changing technology and consumer landscape as a threat but rather as an opportunity," said Kyle Hutchins. "Today, it's not necessarily the largest or oldest organizations that survive, it's the ones that are most agile."
"We're seeing a move away from the traditional transactional model of consumerism toward one that's more relationship-based," said Erik Campanini. "Given this shift, along with the unprecedented amount of customer data available today, organizations must think strategically about how to rebuild consumer trust on a new level and how to improvise."
Darwinism was published by Pearson, and is available for digital purchase on Amazon.com.
Erik Campanini has almost 20 years of experience in the Digital Marketing, Sales & Customer Management and is leading the Digital offering of BearingPoint. Erik serves Internet Pure players as well as global firms in their digital transformation around three major focuses: top line development, digital KPIs, and the digital innovation. Erik facilitates a Global Digital Center of Excellence within BearingPoint, a leading edge incubator to share with its clients the next digital emerging trends and challenges. You can find Erik on Twitter @erikcampanini.
Kyle Hutchins is the Director of Customer Experience at West Monroe. He believes a well-executed customer experience strategy is paramount to market differentiation – ultimately leading to higher customer loyalty and profitability. He has spent 15 years advising clients in both a management consulting, and a digital agency capacity. Kyle's core experience and skills include customer experience strategy, facilitation and customer experience governance, web content management design and implementation, and multi-channel marketing strategy.

West Monroe Launches National High-Tech & Software Practice to Address Needs of the Booming Industry
Dec. 8, 2020 | Press Release
New West Monroe Study: High-Tech & Software M&A Activity Outshines Overall Market in 2020, Outlook Remains Strong
West Monroe Acquires Two Six Capital, a Data Science Firm for Private Equity


Over the past year, Training Day director Antoine Fuqua's name has popped up in association with a number of projects — a boxing drama starring Eminem, a biopic about legendary Chinese concubine Yang Guifei, that untitled Tupac Shakur project, the true crime tale Storming Las Vegas, the sci-fi saga Afterburn and the fact-based drama Pablo Escobar. Now the very busy man is adding one more to his slate: a feature-length documentary about Death Row Records co-founder Suge Knight for Showtime. More details after the jump.
Fuqua is in an unusually good place to direct the documentary, as he's been prepping a biopic of slain rapper Shakur for the past year or so. As Shakur was signed to Death Row Records at the peak of his career and the time of his death, Fuqua is bound to have a fairly extensive knowledge of Knight's exploits and the hip-hop scene already.
Knight rose to prominence in the '90s as the co-founder (with rapper/producer Dr. Dre) of Death Row Records, which in its heyday was home to Snoop Dogg, Nate Dogg, Warren G, and other well-known artists. However, troubles for the label began when Shakur was murdered in 1996 and Knight was sent to jail for unrelated reasons in 1997. Death Row filed for bankruptcy in 2006, and was auctioned off in 2009. Knight has recently begun to make his return to the music business, and will spearhead the soundtrack for the picture through his new company Black Kapital.
In addition to his directorial duties, Fuqua will also produce the project with Bradley J. Fischer (Black Swan, Shutter Island). David Prior, Laeta Kalogridis, James Vanderbilt, Lisa Remington and Edward McGurn are signed on as executive producers, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Chuck Philips as co-producer.

I offer a personal tailored service at low rates. Much of my work is to do with PC problems – in particular removing viruses – but I also help people to find the right product (PC, laptop, iPad, smart phone), order it for them online, set it up for them (including setting up e-mail, and transferring old data) and showing them how it works.
I also provide mail hosting, website hosting, and domain names to small businesses and personal customers, and can advise on web design and can recommend three or four web designers I work with regularly.
Some of my customers are fairly elderly, and just want someone they can call on to replace toner cartridges in their printer, fix the Internet when it goes wrong, and generally provide a little help and guidance.
But what I do is quite varied, so it's probably best to ask!
• Virus problems, "spam" issues, PC healthcheck.
• Choosing, changing, setting up broadband, wi-fi, Internet.

• Adding more disk or memory to your PC.

• Tuition on using your PC, the Internet, avoiding problems, etc.


class where it is invoked.
This is expected behavior, as "IJ" is referring to the current imagej.ImageJ instance (called "context").
We might consider adding the log() method and a variance of the run() methods, by wrapping the context in an adapter that delegates the imagej.ImageJ methods and adds convenience functions. But it would be a good idea to have a good plan what methods need to be added first.
interpreter but the trac system is not sending me a password.
new log surely IJ2 has a new way of echoing to the screen.
As discussed on the mailing list, the problem is that unfortunately, the current scripting framework uses "IJ" as a pointer to the IJ2 context. Personally, I think we need to change the name to something else, but agree with Dscho that choosing a name is difficult. (We don't want to use "ij2" because it will not always be ImageJ 2.x.x; ultimately there will be an ImageJ 3.0.0, etc.) Perhaps "ijc" or similar would be good enough, and not clash.
The simplest trick (which I would be totally in favor of) would be to make IJ a proxy class that proxies the methods of ij.IJ to ij.IJ (as long as we do not have drop-in replacements).
The IJ2 scripting approach is now to annotate desired services and other input & output parameters using "@" style annotations in comments at the top of the script. As such, the string "IJ" is no longer reserved for the ImageJ2 context, and the script above works as-is.


What Lexie Loves: The amazing, the wonderful, the brilliant - it's Dame Jacqueline Wilson!!!
The amazing, the wonderful, the brilliant - it's Dame Jacqueline Wilson!!!
You may remember a couple of weeks ago I wrote an It's Finally Friday post talking about going to see Jacqueline Wilson, world famous author, well I had a great time and now I'm going to tell you about my great experience.
So we arrive in Chorleywood Festival Hall and there's a biggish smallish room filled with chairs. My sister and I find a good enough seat and sit down ready for the talk. Finally my hero is walking on to the stage and a huge applause goes round - it's Jacqueline!! First she talks about how she longed for a pet as a child (like me) and how it finally came true with her cats Jacob and Lily. Then she said about other books of hers with cats in, Queenie for instance, and afterwards she began to talk about her new book Paws and Whiskers.
Paws and Whiskers is a collection of short stories or extracts about cats or dogs such as Ice Lolly by Jean Ure and The Theater Cat by Noel Streatfield. My favorite is Leonie's Pet Cat, which is actually by Jackie herself, because it is sweet, a bit sad and quite funny at times.
Having listened to the talk a few people were aloud to ask questions - they only asked about 12 out of around 100 children and I was one of the lucky ones able to ask Jacky a question. Making the most of it, I asked her which was her favourite tale out of all of those in Paws and Whiskers. And she said probably Catwings right at the beginning by Ursula K. Le Guin. Which I'm going to be honest here wasn't my favourite.
Paws and Whiskers is a great book whether you a fantasy lover, lifestyle reader, horror enjoyer or a comedy needer this book has it ALL. So go to the the shops today and my a copy. I extra specially recommend it to 7-12 year old girls, fans of Jackie.
Once we'd collected our book we queued up to get our copy signed and maybe to have a photo. I'd printed off my review of Diamond and she said it was a 'great review' and she signed that as well. Overall I had a fabby day!

I wrote:
df_day = df.groupby(['Src', 'Date'], as_index=False).apply(lambda x: x.apply(lambda x: x.nunique()))
but it is incredibly slow (it runs forever). The number of groups is quiet large  791215 * 15
Is there any way I can speed up this computation?

A five star performance from STM Sports saw them return to the top of the Welsh Football League Division Two, as they easily saw off a lacklustre Dinas Powys on Tuesday evening.
Goals are never hard to come by in games involving STM Sports, and their game against Dinas Powys was no different, as five different players found the back of the net.
It took seven minutes for the home side to have their first attempt, Dale Gardiner fizzed a left-footed shot straight at Elliott Matthews.
Dinas Powys, who have won on only four occasions this season, had a good chance to take the lead three minutes later. A ball was invitingly floated in from the left, however Aidan Perrett was unable to get a good connection at the back post.
The away side were immediately made to pay for the missed opportunity. An incisive ball from David Biggs played in Michael Hodge who slid the ball under Matthews to give his side the lead.
Four minutes later, STM Sports doubled their lead with a moment of brilliance by Chris Worsley. The number ten took the ball on the right side of the box, turned back inside and unleashed a chip shot with the outside of his foot which nestled into the left corner.
Quick reactions from Matthews prevented the Llanrumney-based side from scoring again six minutes later. A ball into the box found Ben Ahmun who's header was well saved by the Dinas Powys goalkeeper.
One minute later, however, the league's top-scorers scored their third. From a fairly innocuous position, Dale Gardiner took a left-footed curling shot first time which floated over Matthews and in.
Ben Luck's men almost pulled a goal back in the 25th minute, when a free-kick rebounded to James Bloxham who's first time volley flew narrowly wide.
The final action of the first half was a shot by Ahmun at the near post which was well saved by Matthews.
Dale Gardiner's men had a chance to extend their lead one minuet after the break, when a ball from Ahmun found Hodge who's header was gathered by Matthews in the Dinas Powys goal.
Ashley Park almost got his side's fourth in the 54th minute. The number seven timed his run well, beat the offside trap and tried a dinked effort which was snaffled by Matthews, who's busy game continued.
STM, who play their home games at Cardiff University Sports Fields, finally netted their fourth in the 63rd minute. Josh Graham whipped a ball in from the left which landed on a plate for Park who tapped in for one of the simpler goals he will score in his career.
The home side guaranteed their 18th win of the season when they found the net once again in the 70th minute. Geza Hajgato broke the line, took the ball around a helpless Matthews and was unselfish in laying it off to Richie brown who scored into an empty net.
The win means that STM Sports stay well in the hunt for promotion to the Welsh Football League Division One, while defeat for Dinas Powys means that relegation to Division Three was mathematically confirmed.


As I look back on my academic career thus far, I can only say that I have made it this far because I have had amazing people in my corner. Achieving one's dreams is hard and if you do not have the right support, you can lose motivation instantly. This post is dedicated to the people who have supported me through my trailing times.
First and foremost, I would like to thank my family. They have taught me so many life lessons that have been essential to me being successful. My family has taught me that life is more than just book smarts. You have to have some type of street smarts. Life will not always be writing this paper or taking this test and as a result, having those street smarts is essential to surviving. From lessons abut politics, religion, the economy, culture, and etcetera, I can say that I am a better person because I have learned this. My family was there when I had nothing and they continue to stand by my side to this day. It is easy to support someone when they are doing well and flourishing, but it is harder to support someone when they are struggling and at the very beginning of their potential.
Next, I would like to thank my mentors. I could not have gotten to where I am without my amazing mentors. My mentors range from family members to close friends and more. I always try to seek out mentors because I do not have all the knowledge. One of my mentors put it best. She said "Why study something ten ours when you can simply ask someone who knows how to do it and they can explain it to you in ten minutes". My mentors in my life have helped me get scholarships, internships, and more. Because of my mentors, I am that much more prepared. By mentoring me, they allow me to have some of their knowledge and I can use that knowledge to better myself and be the best that I can be.
I would also like to thank all of the educators in my life. Whether it be my high school teachers or college professors, they have helped shaped me into the intellectual that I am today. My teachers in high school never gave up on me. They pushed me to challenge myself and chase my dreams. In college, the professors test my curiosity and push me to new bounds in academia. My teachers in college truly invest within each student they have. That is very powerful because by speaking and engaging in meaningful conversations with our teachers, we can learn a little more about life.
I would also like to give a huge thanks to all of the scholarship and leadership organizations that I am a part of. Because of these scholarships, I can say that I can chase my dreams of a secondary education. Additionally, the community within these organizations is truly special. They are always there for me and make sure that I have the tools to be the best person that I can be.
Lastly, I just want to thank everyone who has helped me on this journey!

Q: SQL relationship between a primary key column and the same column In an existing SQL Server database, someone has defined the following:
Table Customer has a CustomerID column which is also identity. Then they have defined a relationship where Customer.CustomerID is primary key and Customer.CustomerID is also foreign key. I.e. the relationship points back to the same table and same column.
What is the purpose of this? Seems entirely pointless to me, so I plan to remove this relationship from the DB.

A: The relation is called a recursive association or reflexive relationship, you will need this type of relationship when you need to present a relationship between two or more elements of the same type.
For example: for presenting a relationship between employees, you could create two tables Employee and Manager. But because the manager is also an employee, you won't need two tables. So we create a recursive association that point for the same entity.
More about recursive association
UPDATE
Setting a column as PK and FK at the same time could also represent the concept of inheritance.
For example:
class Person {
 int ID;
 string name;
}

class Customer extends Person {
 String workPlace;
}

That would result the tables Person and Customer as listed below:
Person
------------
int id (PK)
string name

Employee
--------------
int id (PK, FK)
string workPlace

Anders Oscar Andersson Wilson, även A.O. Wilson, född 24 november 1851 i Uddevalla, död 8 juni 1912 i Bad Nauheim, Tyskland, var en svensk skeppsredare.

Han bedrev läroverksstudier i Vänersborg på 1860-talet och handelsstudier i London fram till 1870. Samma år anställdes han i rederifirman J.W. Wilson i Göteborg. Efter ett tag blev han chef för linjen till Hull, varefter han avancerade som chef och delägare i firma Wilson & Co. Han grundade även Ångfartygs AB St. George (1897) och var även dess verkställande direktör.

Wilson var även ordförande i Sveriges Redareförening, styrelseledamot i D. Robertsons Mekaniska Verkstads AB, Göteborg-Särö Järnvägs AB, A.O. Anderssons Fabriks AB i Vänersborg. Åren 1907–12 var han ledamot i Göteborgs stadsfullmäktige. Han ägde en fastighet på Kungsportsavenyn.

Familjeförhållanden
Wilson var son till tändsticksfabrikören A.O. Andersson i Vänersborg. Han antog släktnamnet Wilson när han övertog firman Wilson & Co eftersom sterbhusägarna ville att namnet skulle vara knutet till ledningen av affärerna. När A.O. Wilson avled i juni 1912 efterträddes han av sonen Arnold Wilson.

A.O. Wilson gifte sig 1877 med Olga Davida Robertson, dotter till fabrikören David Robertson. Han gravsattes 15 juni 1912 på Östra kyrkogården i Göteborg.

I like this game! It uses the "respawn" as a base for a game revolved around puzzles you must ACTIVELY dive into spikes to solve. I liked the music of this game, it was so cheery, and kinda spacey too. Well, you'd be spacey too for all the times this guy has to pratfall in order to succeed.
I like the 10th level. It requires so much thought to get to the coin. In other Flashes, some puzzles felt too flowy, like they were there, they were required, and they were on your set path too, so they'd eventually get solved no matter what. They were easy too. This however, makes you think HARD in order to succeed. While it was very simple finally solving it, it felt rewarding to finally triump and get teh shiny.
Level 4 was good too, in teaching a lesson that doing the same thing over and over (jumping onto the first little cliff, holding up and tossing it, only to keep coming up short) definently does not work. When my stubborn personality began to wear, I figured out, "Hey, why not just try the higher cliff? Genius..." and it worked out!
Congratulations on making this game. I hope you make more puzzle games like this.
Lastly, LAXfresh349, do you need a hug or something? Hatred is a strong word for him to have not spited you at all. Play this game, and be happy. If you don't like em? Well...then just stop commenting, it's not as if he's talking about you behind your back, or that he'll stop just because you say so...so stop commenting so that the people who actually enjoy his work doesn't have to see all of your negative comments.
I still wish you a merry Christmas.
AND THAT GOES FOR EVERYONE TOO!!!
It is a great game with seemingly good controls, and I love the movie. It'd be better if I wasnt playing on my computer which doesnt let me push 3 keys at once. Other than my problem, I had fun! Oh yes, that user, LAXfresh349 is a spammer, I have seen him on a few other of flash submissions, and he has voted 0 and spammed on them, and if youtube works similar to newgrounds, then you might be able to see his recent submissions, and we could blam him from Newgrounds.
It is fustrating when the controls don't work.
The character would run all over the place? I can almost understand people calling the controls unresponsive in terms of how the character jumps, but I've never had nor heard of any problems with the running.
On level 8, Throw your red platform into the spike pit with the coin, then die!! You will spawn on top of the platform! Once on top of the red, Hold the down Key! You Character will appear as White with a red outline!! LOLZ!!!


You usually write about arts events in London, but this week, though you saw a couple of shows, nothing seems more attractive to write about than the passing of the artist known as David Bowie. This is not a London event of course but a world event that even seems to have implications for the stars, the heavens, for outer space.
Its a strangely, or well-timed departure for Bowie, who became a 'household name' by singing about and embodying the persona of a late 20th century 'Starman' or astronaut. In the week he died an equally British astronaut was grinning down from the spacelab now orbiting the earth.
Though with Bowie you have a million places to begin, none of which would be right and all of which would be rewarding, this particular entry-point is important because the 'Starman' leads you immediately to the mix of theatricality, technology, transcendence and its glamorous failings that distinguish Bowie and his career from legendary figures in other musical fields and styles, such as Michael Jackson or Bob Marley.
From the outset Bowie seemed distracted by theatre. The comic singer and actor Anthony Newley was as much an influence on him as 'Robert Zimmerman' or 'Andy Warhol' -both of whom he explicitly referenced in his early songwriting. In fact, listening to Newley's 1950s output now the likeness is sometimes uncanny.
But rock, or rock & roll, when Bowie first cast his unnerving, un-matching and truly 'beady' eyes upon it, was NOT, as far as you know, 'theatre.' Elvis may have become a glittering Las Vegas star by the late 60s but the 'rock' that had grown from rock & roll was growing increasingly 'heavy', leading four of its leading exponents to confirm this direction by calling themselves 'Led Zeppelin'.
Bowie, however, saw other possibilities for rock in a certain otherworldiness, a kind of lightness that meant any such truth to the materials of guitar noise could also give way to a theatrical state of constant invention and possibility, a 'rock' or 'rock & roll' in which both the music and the persona becomes, not more true, heavy, real or authentic but even more of a work of art, and the artist an image.
And that is what you always want and always wanted Bowie to remain, an image. He was not the kind of artist you would enjoy seeing interviewed. His performance there never seemed to quite work-out or hold-up. It was too real. Bowie, for you, was a poster, a pop video and a repertoire of songs whose lyrics created a kaleidoscope of changing scenes in your mind as you tried to follow their fantastic logic.
His music too, though increasingly enhanced by other great musicians and producers, was, from the outset, equally untethered to reality or tradition, always taking unexpected turns and flights, from word to word, line to line, verse to verse, song to song and from album to album. In a period of unprecedented fertility for musical invention Bowie's music somehow almost always managed to stand out and stand above the context against which it appeared.
Bowie might thus inspire you to consider the question: 'what is the opposite of a chameleon?' Perhaps it is one who always stands out as utterly different to their surroundings?
It seems important today to remember and cherish that which -about this monumental and magnificent artist – was also vulnerable. You sense it in the interviews. Bowie obviously felt different and was brimming with an irrepressible, strange creativity from an early age. But was he incurably banjaxed after being thumped by a school 'friend' who thus left one of his eyes freakishly discoloured, potentially ruining his adolescent androgynous good looks? Did this discomforting experience at a sensitive, formative age perhaps accelerate his flight to the stage, into costume, make-up and various personae, also motivating his unusually, adamantly determined claim to fame?
Dying is of course something else that is too real for David Bowie. The artist who rendered rock & roll (as well as folk and soul) simulacral, had already sung 'Ashes to Ashes' while dressed as a hyper-Pierrot in a morbid pop video funeral cortege that condemned Major Tom to "Junky" status. Years earlier he'd 'killed off' Ziggy stardust by announcing his 'death' from the stage at the end of a gig.
Now he seems to have turned his own death into some kind of image. There's a new album, with videos and lyrics laced with tricks and clues, accompanying a death as a news event that (theatrically) surprised not only you and the rest of the world but even his close friends. Just last Friday you were listening to the song 'Blackstar' played on the radio, after which the DJ said (in a way that now seems spookily foreboding) "Aaah David Bowie! It's sooo great to have him back!" Early on Monday you heard he was dead.
But then perhaps every death is 'unreal' or 'too real'. People make small talk and even laugh at funerals. We dress for and stage them in such a way as to show that, in fact, we simply can never understand or confront death. And thus we prove to ourselves that we do not confront or understand very much at all. Life too is a theatre, an image, a simulation within which the real may be buried like an elusive grail, something only heard of, like a nasty rumour.
Bowie brought glamour to rock, but glamour (like punk) is a double-edged word that implies a certain mendacity and meretricity. Glamour sparkles and convinces but the earrings and makeup will all come off at some point. Smooth skin, real or concocted, turns to wrinkles and pits, as glamour fights -as Bowie increasingly did – to usurp reality, to take reality's place, to take away the power reality has over you.
From the image of the 'Starman' "sitting in my tin can", to the cold-war chic of his Berlin trilogy, and on to the thundering soul swagger of 'Fame' and 'Let's Dance', Bowie, at his best always managed to bring to popular music a unique version of glamour, derived in part from theatrical influence of mavericks like Newley, exacerbated by encounters with the New York underworld, but always allied with that particularly voracious need for special attention that only drab, uniform English suburbia can instill in you.
There is so much more you would like to write, particularly about how and why Bowie's music and lyrics could have so set themselves apart from all else (please see the link below for just one amazing example among literally hundreds).
But for now you feel you just have to show respect and gratitude to someone unique, brilliant, talented and generous, an artist who always strived to hit heights and extend the possibilities of creativity (to "jump the silent cars that slept at traffic lights…" [from 'Panic In Detroit']). David Bowie was / is an artist who always asked deep and serious questions about his art, and who always worked to share his special qualities and talents with you and with so many others, allowing you to transcend (if only momentarily, theatrically -not 'really'), to inhabit something more than, better than 'reality', at least for a while.

The Richest Person in Michigan (Made More Than Bill Gates!)
John Robinson Published: August 5, 2021
Raven-TV, youtube
Who is Michigan's richest person? As of 2021, it's Dan Gilbert. Last year he was only worth a mere 7½ billion dollars. This year, it's over 50 billion.
So who is Dan Gilbert? Born on January 17, 1962, he's a businessman and investor, but the fast facts below will explain a lot more...
Dan Gilbert Fast Facts:
Bachelor's degree, MSU
Chairman of JACK Entertainment
Chairman/Co-founder of Quicken Loans
Founder, Rock Financial/Ventures
Owner, Cleveland Cavaliers
Owner, NBA Canton Charge
Owner, NHL Cleveland Monsters
Runs the Rocket Mortgage Field House, Cleveland
State Bar of Michigan member
Teacher of Law
In 2020 Dan made more than Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg & Warren Buffet. During the pandemic, Quicken Loans entered the New York Stock Exchange under the name Rocket Companies, or RTK, holding 79% of the company. The pandemic played a big part in Gilbert's rise in wealth.
Dan's interest in business began when he was a kid. He used to sell candy and pizzas – the pizzas were personally made by Gilbert, right there in his house.
In 2019, Dan suffered a stroke on the right side of his brain, which paralyzed his left side. He was in a crowd watching a light show on the Detroit River when he started to see double. At first he thought his double-vision was caused by the light show, but luckily one of his friends that accompanied him was a doctor and Dan was taken to emergency right away. He is still recovering, but doing nicely.
His headquarters are in Detroit at 1050 Woodward Avenue in the building that was once Kern's Department Store.
Take a look at the photos and video below, and you'll find out more about Dan Gilbert: Michigan's Richest Person.
